Dr.in Zeynep U. Kasli

The speed and types of migration have reached new heights in the early 21st century as compared to 50 years earlier. Regardless of that,some people, who want to reach, for example, Amsterdam, have to pay almost 10 times more than a regular fair for perilous itineraries. What makes some passports more valuable than others? Does a nation-state’s passport guarantee equal rights and treatment for all? How are the borders and boundaries distinguishing some groups from the others determined? Who are defining these borders, and why? Who challenge these borders, why and how?

This Bachelor political science course combines theoretical and empirical studies on the politics of migration, borders and citizenship with a regional focus on Europe. We will start with exploring theoretical and epistemological debates in migration studies. From a historically informed perspective, we will look at fundamental consequences of migration in shaping social and political relations in the European context. Particularly, we will study changing trends in mobility practices, policies of migration and border control, and their impacts on the citizenship practices of migrant and local communities.

Objectives
• to obtain familiarity with the complex foundations of the politics of mobility, contestations and resistances to it within the prevailing global political order.
• to critical engage with the theories developed in social sciences and their application in the study of the migration, borders and citizenship.
• to develop an analytical lens beyond the dominant state-centered perspectives in order to critically assess the current policies of migration management and their implications for international studies.
• to enhance analytical skills by designing and carrying out small empirically informed research projects.
• to develop presentation skills during regular class discussions and paper presentations.

Art der Leistungskontrolle und erlaubte Hilfsmittel

Grades will be based on response papers, quizzes and a term paper.

Response papers: (30%) Students are expected to write max. 4 response papers throughout course and the best 3 will be counted towards the final grade. Each response paper will be approximately 500 words including 3 questions inspired by the readings of that week. Questions aim at initiating class discussion and seeking clarification to the reading material. Papers must be submitted two days before the classes (latest Wednesday 23:59 PM) and students are expected to actively contribute to the class discussions for the sessions they submit a response papers.

Quizzes: (10%) These will be quizzes in some sessions to keep students on track with the assigned readings and encourage participation.

Term paper: (60%) Throughout the course, students are expected to work towards a final paper (around 3000 words). By our November meetings, students will select a contemporary case, based on a critical reading of different news sources (preferably in several languages). The students will write a synopsis based on this newspaper search and ask research questions based on the theoretical readings covered up to that point in the course. Based on my feedback, half way in the semester, students will finish and submit online their annotated bibliography of the secondary literature. Students will be encouraged and guided in visiting migration-related organizations, conducting interviews with experts/migrants/local community members and doing discourse analysis of different materials, from films to political speeches. In the last session, students will make a peer review of each other’s paper and then a short presentation of their papers before submitting the final version of their papers. Adjustments will be made according to number of students enrolled.

Synopsis: 10 %
