This seminar focuses on sustained cross-border processes, called transnationalization, and with corresponding social practices and identifications which mark a specific kind of heterogeneity, called transnationality. In this seminar participants discuss work-in-progress dealing with transnational perspectives. At the core are issues of development politics and policies, transnational social policy, international migration and integration, transnational social spaces, democracy and citizenship. This seminar identifies questions for further research and offers some methodological venues for the study of cross-border transactions.
In particular, this seminar is meant to help graduate students and doctoral candidates to conceptualize their thesis papers, conduct research and write the final version. Among other things students learn to select relevant literatures, develop a research design and evaluate empirical data.
