Course Outline: Designed for advanced master students with a keen interest in migration studies in general and the regulation of human mobility in particular, this course offers an interdisciplinary foundation to the study of the theme of migration regimes. The course will critically parse the frameworks and systems established by countries and regions to manage and control immigration/ emigration. It will further guide students to understand how the socio-legal status of migrants are discursively and normatively (re)produced by the historical and economic conditions, political ideologies, social attitudes, and geopolitics in the home and host societies.
Requirements: Basic requirements include knowledge of migration literature, proficiency in reading and writing in English, compulsory readings for each class, classroom discussions and presentation. Each class will have a 30 minutes presentation by the lecturer, 30 minutes of classroom discussion, a 15-minute student presentation followed by group feedback and concluding remarks on the day’s topic.
Expected outcomes: The course aims to equip students with the following:
- A grasp of the evolving rationales for migration governance and management
- Develop critical understanding of global interconnections and the interlinkages between economy, polity, history and society in governing migration
- Familiarise with key debates on critical migration studies
- Make sharp, precise and impactful presentations
- Build research skills to dive deep into a subject and develop critical analytical skills
- Write lucid, well-structured and argued term paper drawing on academic work related to any one of the topic
