About the course
Aim
After completion of the course, the student at advanced level should be able to – conduct a critical analysis of contemporary issues of migration and ethnic relations, from a case-study or policy-oriented perspective, as well as from a theoretical point of view; – critically analyse specific problems within the field of ethnic and migration studies, and suggest alternative approaches and solutions; – relate the issues under consideration to specific scientific discussions and literature in the field of ethnic and migration studies.
Content
In this course is offered the opportunity to attain in-depth knowledge of historical and sociological perspectives on migration and ethnic relations by focusing on a particular area or problem. Central themes of the course concern the application of theories and concepts to the study of contemporary issues in migration and ethnic relations and their relation to society; they also concern different approaches and methods for concrete empirical investigations of migration processes, migrant experiences and changing legal and normative frameworks on local, national, regional or global level.
