| Description: |
Students will examine narratives of people who are moving, fleeing, resettling, and establishing themselves elsewhere, invited or not. What motivates migration; who is a refugee; what does it mean to be a citizen? This course focuses on the circulation of peoples, ideas, and capital and problematizes assumptions about belonging and citizenship. |
| Learning Goals: |
Students will be able to: 1. Articulate what is migration, globalization, and transnationalism and map these onto specific local, regional, and international examples. 2. Apply the concepts, theories, and arguments about human migration, in the past and present, in the analyses of ethnographic materials. 3. Identify and connect the historical, economic, political, and social factors that contribute to the individual and group dimensions of transnational or local migration, refugee, and exhilic experiences. 4. Critique the impact of globalisation by pointing to specific social, cultural, institutional, and national assumptions and their impact on immigrant, displaced, and transnational individuals and communities. 5. Collaborate with classmates in team learning experiences that build upon individual strengths and interests to achieve a shared knowledge outcome specific to this course. *The learning goals displayed here are those for one section of this course as offered in a recent semester, and are provided for the purpose of information only.
