International migration relates to the mobility of humans across international borders for protection, settlement, and/or labor. Over the late 20th century, international migration (both viewed as immigration and emigration) has become a salient issue of national politics across most countries in the world, and different regional and global forums of governance. This course sets to contextualize the political discussion of migration by systematically analyzing the history, theories, and categories of migration. It presents a survey of the many subtopics discussed by the interdisciplinary migration literature that directly relates to broader political issues, including issues of development, immigration, and border control politics, citizenship and integration, the Migration state, migrants' agency, environmental and climate change-induced migration, etc. While covering important aspects of immigration in the United States, and more broadly in the West, it also intentionally looks at migration in the global South, where most migration and displacement occurs. This course also addresses directly ethical and methodological issues related to the study and representation of migration.
