Protection of Refugees and Migrants

(UNI423) -  ΧΡΙΣΤΙΝΑ ΒΕΛΕΝΤΖΑ

Περιγραφή Μαθήματος

This course will investigate the wide range of recent international migratory movements, including refugees, asylum seekers, and economic migrants, as well as so-called return migrants and expats. It will examine the many ways that migrants are accommodated in the country of settlement and attempt to draw evidence-based conclusions about the efficacy of different national and international policies. It will also discuss the ways the media shapes international and national understanding of migration. In addition to these approaches looking at migrant communities from the outside, this course will also encourage students to investigate how migrant communities view themselves and their sense of belonging and participation in the country of settlement. In order to develop this semi-insider understanding of migrant communities, students will look at migrant internet communities and cultural production.

1.     Define transnationalism in the context of migration. Explain the ways transnationalism works within migrant communities.
