Aim & Background

This 2-credit course introduces students to the various ways in which migration is gendered, andwhy it is important to explore migration through this lens in order to understand how theprocesses and transformations impact men, women, and children. We will engage with theoriesthat open up a conversation about migration in historical perspective, as well as the manydifferent forms of migration (transnational, forced, asylum, exile, diaspora, human trafficking,refugees, etc.), and how these migrants experience these processes. We will discuss andchallenge the analytical categories underlying these distinctions, and seek to understand how weas a global community need to address the cultural, social, economic and political dimensions ofmigration and diasporas as well as issues related to identity construction, cultural productionsand imaginations. Furthermore, the course explores case studies of health and security, war andconflict, as well as transnational families and transmigrants. We will end the course by discussthe growing crisis in Europe and how the "new" refugees are struggling with a campaign ofmisinformation that highlights the growing racialized rhetoric against Arab and Muslim migrantsand refugees.
