Aufbauseminar Migration Immigration in the 21st Century

The focus of this course is on the interaction between migration and society. With unprecedented numbers of immigrants reaching the European Union, the analytical study of migration and immigration issues has suddenly become more important also for social scientists. The course will be divided in two parts (distributed over two block seminars). In the first part of the seminar, we will examine questions, such as: Why do people migrate across international borders? Can states control -unwanted” migration? What are the different flows of migrants? And what are the consequences of migration on origin countries? In the second part of the seminar, the focus will be on the integration of immigrants. We will discuss questions, such as: Are immigrants and their children becoming part of the mainstream in their destination countries? How do sociologists theorize and evaluate immigrant integration? And how do attitudes towards immigrants form and differ among individuals and countries? The main aim of the course is to introduce students to the study of migration and immigration theoretically and empirically. The course also aims to develop critical thinking about the core mechanisms rooted in economics (e.g.wage differentials, remittance obligations and family insurance), sociology (e.g. social networks and cumulative causation) and political science (public sentiment and political organization). Furthermore, we will examine the differences between what we know, using objectively collected data, and what we don’t know in the field of migration and immigration studies. Lastly, the course aims to develop further interests in the study of migration and immigration issues in different disciplines (sociology and political science). Learning Outcomes: After this course, students will be able to understand and describe the main concepts of the different approaches explaining the determinants of international migration and the incorporation of immigrants into the host society. They will also be able to recognize the difference between different migration flows (e.g. (economic) labor migrants and refugees). Finally, students will be able to distinguish between different methodological approaches to the study of migration and immigration and identify unresolved or conflicting conclusions about migration. More generally, students will be able to (i) present academic material in a public forum, (ii) craft independent and critical reactions to the scholarship in writing, and (iii) link general theory to specific case studies derived from the literature.
