| Outline and Purpose of the Course | Human Societies are often characterized by their dynamic populations. These often include people who are born in one country but live and reside in another. This course introduces students to present day global movement and the different conditions of people who move and settle in other countries. This is a seminar based course and aims to help students learn and explore the ways human movement plays out Asia-pacific, Southeast Asia, and other regions in the world. | ||
| Course Goals | Each week will consist of a brief lecture based on readings (and some class notes) followed by a class discussion and group exercises. The main purpose is to give students a critical introduction to the way present day globalization processes affect the lives of migrants, immigrants and refugees and stimulate discussion on the human dimensions of movement. | ||
