Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

The lecture will give an overview of the extent and the various forms of global and regional migrations from the early modern period to the present. The focus is on the most important types of labor migrations and forced mobilities such as flight, displacement, and deportation. Gender-specific forms of migrations will be taken into account.
