Migration in the Americas

3 Credits · Level: Graduate, Juris Doctor

The Americas (Latin America and the Caribbean) have a rich migration history, which encompasses both migration within the region and to countries outside the region (especially the United States, Canada, and European countries). This course examines the history of migration within, from, and to the Americas, including the reasons that different migration patterns have developed; how public policies have evolved over time to regulate migration; and the role that migrants play in the life of both their new home countries and their countries of origin.
