MIGRATION AND CITIZENSHIP

概要

As a powerful instrument and object of social closure, citizenship is an important concept that regulates an individual’s membership to a political and geographic community with its rights and obligations. This seminar examines the concept of citizenship within the context of migration. How does citizenship (not) matter for migrants? How does citizenship affect migration? How does migration affect citizenship? We will review theories of migration and citizenship and try to answer these questions while exploring empirical studies in both established immigrant societies and emerging recipient and sending countries.

目標

By the end of the semester, students in the course should have a firm grasp on the issues and debates surrounding migration and citizenship and be able to develop an individual project which incorporates but goes beyond the class materials.
