Learning unit contents
This course will focus on the study of migration and related issues through the lens of gender and intersectionality. The aim is to train students to systematically adopt an approach to these issues that pays attention to the gender and intersectional dynamics at play. In doing so, they will be able to analyse how experiences of migration differ according to individuals' social positions (claimed or assigned), how migration influences gender dynamics and their reconfiguration, and the reverse - how gender dynamics influence migration paths.
The course will include introductory lessons on what gender and intersectionality mean for social science research. The focus will then shift to the study of gender and intersectional dynamics operating within migration patterns, also addressing specific themes.
The course content will be based on a body of literature and a methodological approach crossing different fields of social sciences.
Learning outcomes of the learning unit
This course aims to develop with students the theoretical and methodological tools to understand the issues of migration from a gender and intersectional perspective. The overall objective is to raise students' awareness of these approaches and to equip them to mobilise them in their future research or professional practice.
