The course will introduce students to basic concepts of identity in the context of migration and prepare them to conduct research in this area. It will focus on various nexuses of migration and identity, taking into consideration, place, gender or class as well as their effect on shaping migrants’ lives. We will examine literature and current public discussion on relevant case studies considering migration and identity, in particular politics and identity. Emphasis will be placed on sensitizing students to intersectionality when conducting research and interviews with migrants. Thus, students will do qualitative analysis of their own interview and present it during the classes.
