SOC 3820 Gender and Global Migration


In the past fifty years global migration has emerged as one of the most significant social processes of our time. This course provides a general overview of contemporary global patterns of migration and examines the various social, cultural, and political contexts that shape the trends and characteristics of migratory flows. The main analytical focus of the course is the gendered patterns of migration, and its intersection with race, and other forms of social inequalities as they shape the experiences, treatment, and practices of inclusion and exclusion of immigrants in various countries around the world. Students will study how immigrant women and men experience work, the family, and communities, and how policies and political mobilization affect immigrants in various receiving contexts. This is a writing intensive course.
