Description

This class offers a sociological perspective on migration by looking at why people migrate and explores the theoretical tools sociologists have developed for understanding migration. The course emphasizes the global context of international migration and examines the institutions that shape migration flows and the experiences of immigrants. These import issues will be examined from both the perspective of the receiving and sending countries.
