Global Migration as a Process

3 Credits.

This course introduces migration as a social process rather than a singular event. Students will be introduced to historical and contemporary literature on global migration. In this course, we will evaluate the drivers of migration, the migration selection process, the short- and long-term effects of migration on destination and origin countries, and the politics of migration policies. This course aims to provide students with a foundation in theories and methodologies that shape contemporary debates in international migration.
