Semester: 2023 Sommersemester
Advanced topics in the sociology of migration / Fortgeschrittene Themen der Migrationssoziologie:
Ethnic inequality / Ethnische Ungleichheiten:
Research on migration and integration / Aktuelle Befunde der Migrations- und Integrationsforschung:
Assimilation, Transnationalism, and Superdiversity in contemporary migration studies
The course aims at a comprehensive understanding of different theoretical approaches to contemporary migration and migrant features, with a particular focus on migrant identity and a sense of belonging. Starting with the historical review from the Post-world-war era, the course will delve into the three core theories rooted in migration studies: Assimilation, Transnationalism, and Superdiversity. Students will be able to understand how those theories have affected the social norms and awareness at the national, local, and community levels of destination society, while contemplating by themselves the right approach to the related social issues for the current and the near future.
The course runs entirely in English – students should have very good written and oral English skills.
Please note that the course takes an extended form of the block seminar – four days in April and a final presentation day in July – overall five days. Those who wish to attend this seminar with conflicting schedules with other courses should speak to the instructors of those courses in advance by themselves.
