Description

Why would people move across international borders to settle abroad? International migration is often conceived as the search for better economic conditions beyond the home country. And yet, this is only one dimension of this complex process. In this course, we will study the economic, social, and political dimensions of international migration. We will pay particular attention to political processes to understand the engagement and challenges of migrants in the host and home societies, emphasizing rights, policies, and participation. Through a sociological lens, we will analyze the role of citizenship, race, gender, and class in shaping migrants' political identities and their ability to participate in democratic processes across and within state boundaries. This class will be an opportunity to delve into a mode of sociological inquiry that analyzes international migration as a multidimensional process.
