A Lexicon of Migration

This course examines the history of migration from local, national, and global perspectives, with particular emphasis on the economic and political developments that have produced specific forms of mobility in the Americas, Europe, and the Middle East. It aims to provide students with the tools to engage critically with many of the concepts and buzzwords—among them “asylum,” “border,” “belonging,” “citizenship,” and “illegality”—that define contemporary public debates.

This course counts toward the Human Rights certificate.

Al-Quds Bard College offers this course under the name "Humanitarian Spaces".
