1036.4002.01 Theories of International Migration 
Prof. Noah Lewin-Epstein

Migration is a major source of social, cultural and economic change in many parts of the world. It creates opportunities as well as hardship and is shaping the demography of many countries. The course aims to acquaint students with the main theoretical perspectives on International Migration. We start with a brief historical outline beginning with mass migration flows in the latter part of the 19th century leading up to the end of the 20th century. Following that we examine various theories of migration (why people move). We then examine the political context of international migration. In the next part of the course we discuss the experience of migrants. Here we review theories concerned with the integration of immigrants in host societies and the relationships between hosts and immigrants. In the last section we will address some topics of high visibility and examine recent theorizing of transnationalism, forced migration and refugee issues.
