Oktatás célja

Migration, and the complex effects of topographical changes or mobility throughout human history, have long been the scenes of socio-economic thinking. The aim of the course is to analyze the most important trends of international migration, the spatial and temporal aspects, and the causes and effects of mobility by applying several social science disciplines (sociology, economics, law, political science, etc.). Sessions will provide an in-depth exploration into some of the following topics: migration theories, basic legal concepts, asylum, social and labor market integration of immigrants, emigration and diaspora politics, brain drain, brain gain, migration and identity politics. In addition to discussing general theories, students can gain a more integrated understanding of migration processes affecting Europe (both in terms of emigration and immigration) and enhance their methodological and analytical knowledge.

Számonkérés és értékelés

There will be two forms of assessment during the semester. The students’ evaluation will take into consideration: group project (30 points), and final exam (70 points). Group project: > Students will be placed into groups of 5-6 students and are asked to do a 15-20 minute-long presentation (power point or prezi) on one of the case studies in the course schedule. Its objective is for students to (1) summarize the main ideas, argument(s), hypothesis and conclusions/recommendations of the reading on the case study; (2) Students can focus on the analysis of a specific section and of a particular issue or topic within the reading, and contextualize it for an even more integrated understanding by linking to current events and relevant cases; (3) finally, they formulate some take-away messages and put two questions that can provide a further insight into the overall topic covered in the study. > Students have to submit and upload their slideshows on Coospace in the folder “Group projects” on the day before class. Final exam (mandatory for everyone): A written exam based SOLELY on the weekly assigned readings AND the lecturer’s slideshows. It is highly recommended that students read the literature, broken down by week, before each session. Students will have to answer a couple of essay-type questions based on the assigned readings. The questions will assess students’ understanding of the assigned readings, and will focus on the most important aspects of the readings. Scores: SUM: 100 points 89-100 points excellent (5) 75-88 points good (4) 65-87 points average (3) 50-64 points satisfactory (2) 0-49 points failed (1)
