The world has never seen so many migrants as we have today. These cross-border movements increasingly shape the societies we live in and provoke crucial political and social questions regarding belonging, protection and human rights. Furthermore, the movement of migrants across the globe contributes to an increasingly interconnected world and can be seen as one of the most important processes of globalisation. This course provides theoretical and empirical insights into the most important drivers behind a wide variety of international mobility (including economic migrants, refugees and students) and from there it aims to understand the complex consequences it has for different societies. Although it starts from a geographical analytical lens, we enhance our knowledge on migration by using insights from other disciplines, ranging from law, sociology and anthropology.
