Course contents :
 |
| The course presents some of the most important recent developments in ethnic and migration studies. It is the logical follow-up of the introductory course « Sociology of Migration ». During the introductory session, we shall examine the formation and the evolution of ethnic and migration studies as a specific field of social and political research. We shall then move on to examine 3 of the most important « new » issues in the field:
- Environmental changes, migration and displacement (3 sessions by François Gemenne)
- transnationalism (3 sessions by Jean-Michel Lafleur):
- Popular culture, migration and ethnicity (3 sessions by Marco Martiniello)
The final session will be an open discussion with the 3 teachers. |
 |

A passive and active knowledge of written and spoken English is a very strong advantage. Having taken the course « Sociology of Migration » is an advantage. |

-Lectures given by external guests.
The students are required to prepare each session by reading the paper(s) assigned weekly.
