In this course we examine various forms of movement across the borders of national states, captured by concepts such as migration and mobility. We will analyze the reasons of international migration, the history of flows, and the transnational relationship between migration and social processes in the places of origin, destination and onward movement. The course deals with labor migration, forced migration, movements of displaced people as well as other types of mobility involving, for example, students, expatriates, marriage, retirement or new life styles. After an overview of basic migration & mobility theories, we will delve into empirical exercises trying to theorize flows across borders.
