Course history

Introduction

Emnet gir en innføring i migrasjonens nyere historie internasjonalt og i Norge. Vi spør: Hvilke typer migrasjon har vært dominerende de siste tiårene? Hvilke drivkrefter ligger bak bevegelsen av asylsøkere, arbeidsmigranter, familiemigranter og andre? Hvordan har innvandringspolitikken endret seg over tid? Videre ser vi på hva som er konsekvensene av migrasjonen for landene de reiser fra, for mottakerlandet og for migrantene selv. Kurset bruker aktuelle debatter om innvandring, integrering og mangfold som utgangspunkt for å drøfte pensumlitteraturen.
