Course Description:
The course highlights the importance of an intersectional analysis in the field of migration studies. It explores a range of scholarly debates on how international migration and mobilities can be theorized and researched empirically using the intersectional approach. The course trains students’ ability to identify and analyse empirical material through the intersections of class, ethnicity, gender, generation, sexuality, and other relevant power axes. During the course, students are introduced to a set of research cases, examining for example, families and migration, gendered forms of migration, privileged mobilities, ageconditioned types of migration, care and other work-related mobilities, etc. Students will engage with important questions pertaining to transforming European migration regimes, political economy, citizenship and social exclusion/ inclusion as well as to the emerging forms of mobilisation and civil society responses related to mobility and migration.
