Showcasing different approaches, issues, and regional contexts, the course is organized around the themes of Migration, Mobilities and Immobilities  that have emerged as among the most pressing 21st-century challenges. Specifically, we are interested in the different forms and facets of movement (internal, cross-border; regular, and irregular) and of immobilities (social, political, economic).  This course is designed to provide students with an opportunity to think critically about the research process, epistemologies, and ethics in the conduct of research. As such, the course is focused on the research process  rather than the mastery of a specific topic, method, or region.
