Migration and Development

3 credits · Undergraduate

Urbanization, globalization, and international migration are dynamic processes changing our social and physical spaces. This course examines global migration processes and the settlement forms and organizations resulting from migration, refugee movements, and globalization. Analysts and policy makers often overlook the links between migration and its impacts on and potential for development. In this course, we explore these links, recognizing migrant contributions in countries of origin, transit and destination. Prerequisite(s): None
