Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

New Approaches in Global Migrations

This reading course will take students on a broad journey thru different global migration systems from the 18th to the 21st century with a special focus on Europe. Even in pre-industrial times, migration was an integral and regular part of a relatively stable social and economic order. The majority of migrants moved across short distances: only a few crossed provincial or international borders, and transoceanic migration remained something of an exception. The twentieth century marks a profound reversal of human movement in Europe and between Europe and the rest of the world. The aim of the course is to locate the various forms of migration within the complex and long-term process by which both rural and urban societies were transformed during the era of modernization until present times.
The broad aims of the course are to provide the students with an in-depth knowledge of new texts on global and more specifically European migration structures within the complex and long-term process by which both rural and urban societies were transformed during the last centuries. The readings will be examined to identify the main historical themes, methodology and approaches taken in the reconstruction of various regional mobility patterns and identity constructions. As an outcome of the course, it is expected that students will have a broad overview of the literature on global and European migration and identity, and comment and criticize it within historical research.
