Cíle předmětu
There could hardly be a more important topic in contemporary societies than international migration. In today’s globalized world, there are more than 281 million migrants and the trend toward movement across borders is only increasing. Migration is a hot-button issue in many countries, with politicians, the media and the public speaking out, especially concerning unauthorized migrants and refugees. Exploring the phenomenon of migration can involve multiple perspectives and methods. In this course, we focus on various methods for researching people on the move, while we start with shaping the phenomenon with the help of the statistical data and national policies, coming through the different faces of integration of immigrants and ethnographies of borders to rich, detailed case studies of different groups of migrants and countries. The ultimate goal is to gain a better understanding of contemporary migration in a global context.
