With increasing migration to Western Europe, inclusion and integration have become buzz words in politics, media, and private and public organizations. Nevertheless, migrants in Europe continue to experience worse health, lower levels of employment and more discrimination than native populations. Although national and local governments continue to device inclusion policies, these do not always have their intended effects.
This happens while contemporary societies are increasingly digitalized. The use of digital technologies is spreading across all sectors. Digitalization influences people’s social life and connectedness, with particular, inherent implications for migrants. Many studies indicate that digital technologies have a direct impact on migrants, by affecting their decision to migrate, their migration trajectories, their life in the country of destination and continued relationships beyond this new physical residence.
This course will link the topic of policy and practices on migrant integration to the one on digitalization. It will focus on policies, practices in the age of digitalization. In this course, you will be introduced to this topic by members from the Radboud University Network on Migrant Inclusion (RUNOMI), other scholars and practitioners who will provide lectures on different aspects of this topic (see preliminary program).
