Structure: Seminars will begin with a short lecture by the instructor framing the readings and will be followed by a short presentation/introduction of that week’s topic, in which the student responsible for that week will present the readings structured by their critical comments and questions. The student is very much encouraged to think the readings through the lens of his/her PhD research. For each session there will be two or three key required texts. It is important that the presenters include examples from their own research areas and make connections to the readings of the former weeks. There is a strong emphasis on active class participation.
Learning Outcomes: At the end of the course, the students are expected to have: a good grasp on the debates on extratcivism; global perspective on forced migration; an understanding of its conceptual network, its emergence and its historical and political trajectories; the impact of colonialism and post-colonial predicament in such displacements; emergence of refugee and migration industries and their actors.
