Learning unit contents
This course takes the form of a seminar. It consists of a series of online lectures and discussions held during the first quarter. It is organized by the EuMIGS network. All students in the Master's program in Sociology, with a focus on Migration and Ethnic Studies, are eligible to participate. The course is a required component of the EuMIGS dual-degree program.
Learning outcomes of the learning unit
Upon successful completion of the seminar, students will be able to:
- Explain key concepts related to decolonization, coloniality, epistemic justice, and critical migration studies.
- Analyze the historical relationship between migration, colonialism, race, and racism in European contexts and beyond.
- Critically evaluate Eurocentric assumptions and power structures within migration scholarship.
- Apply decolonial, intersectional feminist, and critical race perspectives to contemporary migration debates.
- Reflect on the role of knowledge production, privilege, and institutional power in shaping migration research and policy.
- Ultimately, this course invites you into a deep conversation with another about your ideas, challenging your assumptions and making you argue over beliefs you may have.
