Class Description

This course aims to illuminate the intersecting social and political dimensions of immigration from a global perspective. With a mix of theoretical and empirical material, it will cover the causes, mechanisms, and outcomes of immigration in a variety of social and geographical contexts. By the end of the course, students should have a solid understanding of (1) basic immigration patterns, legal structures, and academic debates and (2) key commonalities and differences among immigration and other forms of international migration taking place throughout the world.
