300639 Migration, Borders & Belonging (30-M25) (S) (SoSe 2026)
Contents, comment
-
Migration, Borders & Belonging critically examines the social, political, and cultural dimensions of global migration, exploring how borders, both material and symbolic, shape and control mobility, displacement, and belonging. Drawing on interdisciplinary scholarship and real-world case studies, students analyze how migration challenges dominant ideas of nationhood, citizenship, and identity. The course addresses issues such as forced migration, border security regimes, diasporic experiences, and the rise of populism, nationalism, and right-wing extremism in shaping global politics. By focusing on power, inequality, and resistance, it equips students with conceptual tools to understand and critique contemporary debates on mobility and the contested politics of belonging in a world marked by both connection and division.
