Title Migration, Im/mobilities, In/equalities
Description Migration and im/mobilities are key features of the 21st century. Debates range from migration and innovation to humanitarian crises and anti-immigrant sentiments. But who is a migrant, why does migration matter, and for whom and how? Is there a difference between mobility and migration? This lecture explores the topics of migration and mobilities through the lenses of in/equalities, in/justice, and sustainability. By doing so, we explore questions of definitions and data sources in migration debates, issues of (intergenerational) justice, social protection, decent work, and labor migration, the role of technology and migration infrastructures, citizenship, and rights. We will critically discuss a wider range of conceptual debates, how they relate to empirical research, and practical implications and policy debates.

The lecture strictly follows the model of “inverted classroom”. Students are requested to invest 60 min in preparatory work for each lecture, and the physical presence of the students during the lecture is key for interesting debates and exercises. We will discuss topics and your questions in greater depth during the class. Students will have to actively contribute to the lectures with, e.g., their questions, short presentations, moderation, and peer feedback for students.


Examination:
Students will have to fulfill smaller tasks during the lectures.
NO grades are granted, only pass/fail.

All the details and “rules of the game” of inverted classroom will be explained in the first week of the lecture.
