MIGRATION, INTEGRATION and TRANSNATIONALISM
Mass immigration, particularly the question of how to control immigration, has been high on the European agenda for at least the past 15 years. The issue is often framed as a cause of anxiety; culturally, politically, and economically in Europe. International migration shows no signs of slowing down so the causes and consequences of immigration will be a critical topic for the 21st century. In 2020, 21,9 million people had a migrant background, representing %26,7 of the population in Germany.
The course sketches contemporary trends and dynamics of migration in Europe and Germany. In the meantime, questions related to immigrant integration and transnationalism are coming to the fore and they demand a through revision of the immigration policy thinking. New patterns of circular, transit and return migration in Europe provide a set of challenges for integration policies. Therefore, we look at migration and memory processes in a continuum including the way these real and virtual flows of people and ideas reshape the sense of belonging across several generations. The course focuses on how immigrants become incorporated into the receiving society, including the examination of dynamics of migration and integration. Moreover, this course examines the role of migrant networks in both the sending and receiving countries.
Theories on migration and integration, changing concepts of national collective identity, migration policies in the EU, transnationalism, new challenges of integrating migrants in Germany, integration of female migrants, educational attainment of migrant children, multiculturalism, European Refugee crises are the main topics of the course.
Students are expected to engage thoughtfully, critically, and self reflexively with course readings. This course values free and respectful exchange of ideas. The majority of classroom time will be spent discussing our readings. This class will be facilitated as a seminar and students are expected to take co-responsibility for creating a collective, cooperative learning environment. We will also use classroom time to engage students with popular media, academic blogs, and/or short documentary films in order to deepen our understanding of the issues in the assigned readings.
