The massive intensification of long-distance migration processes and the almost ubiquitous emergence of diasporas are among the most obvious social expressions of globalisation. The course attempts to provide a historical perspective on these phenomena, thereby also exploring the important issues of assimilation and integration of immigrants.
Lernziel
The participants will be acquainted with the historicity of issues surrounding migration and diaspora and encouraged to relate the historical case studies to current debates revolving around these phenomena. In the process they will be made familiar with the analysis of both historical sources and state of the art research literature.
