Migrant IntegrationInclusion

3 Credits · Level: Graduate, Undergraduate

Migrant Integration and Inclusion This course examines the issue of integration, inclusion and identity of migrants, including issues around language, access to the labor market and public services, education, religion, gender and political rights. We will explore contending theories of how migrants come to belong into a new society, how they seek to maintain ties to their countries of origin and how their identity changes. We’ll look at different experiences of integration by gender, age, ethnicity, religion, legal status and other factors and we will compare integration policies in the US and elsewhere. The course will include lectures, class discussions and student presentations.
