Learning outcomes

The course places migration in the context of human mobility in general, of the history of colonialism, and of European policy, covering how borders are constructed, the kinds of cultures of humanitarianism that emerge from them, the ethics of migration, hospitality, and the materiality of migration, including ritual aspects of border mortality. The course is taught mainly through the discussion of ethnographic case studies, privileging the point of view of migrants in relation to borders, spatial categories, and their treatment in receiving countries, gendered perspectives on the migration trail and reception, and the dynamics of the informal economy. Students gain critical insight into migration processes, and can develop research and presentation skills.
