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:
- Popular Music, Identity and ethnicity (4 sessions organized by Marco Martiniello)
