課程概述 |
Globalization has increased not only the flows of capital and commodities but also the movement of labor, culture and social relations. This course starts with questions regarding migration process and infrastructure: Why do people migrate across international borders? How do receiving and sending states promote and control migration inflows and outflows? How do brokers and other intermediaries enable and constrain people’s movements? How does gender shape the motivation and trajectory of migration? The second part of the course delves into mobility patterns and identity politics in different migration pathways, including business, skilled, labor, marriage, sexual, and lifestyle migration. The final part of the course examines the broader issues of membership, belonging, and citizenship: What are the consequences of migration with the growth of transnational links? How do migrants maintain long-distance intimacy with their families back home? How are immigrants and their children integrated (or not) into their adoptive countries? What kinds of issues and challenges do we face regarding immigrant incorporation and multicultural recognition? |
