Topics covered include slavery, colonial and post-colonial migration, labour migration, internal migration and asylum. One weekly seminar will be dedicated to an historical case study, while the other weekly seminar will focus on a more contemporary case study on a related type of movement. Each week we will examine a different type of movement. We will then turn to more empirical examples of migration. We will start in week 1 by looking at the various theories put forward to explain why people migrate and what effect this has for the sender communities, the receiver communities and for migrants themselves. Most of our focus will be dedicated to what has occurred since the 1800s. In this course we will examine how migration has shaped the modern world. ![]()
