GS 334 - Global Movements: Migrations, Refugees, & Diasporas


The voluntary and involuntary movement of people around the globe is the core focus of this course on migrations, refugees, and diasporas. Questions of borders, nativism, transnationalism, the global economy, and legality thread through this class as we consider the many social, cultural, environmental, economic, and political factors shaping decisions to leave a home or homeland. Creative works, case studies, theoretical texts, and geographic perspectives on these topics collectively animate our discussions.

Typically Offered: Fall term only - even years
