Description:
For migrants, moving not only means leaving familiar contexts behind but also arriving in a new and often challenging environment. This process involves crossing more than just geographical borders—migration unfolds within and between social spaces, reshaping relationships, identities, and opportunities along the way.
This seminar approaches migration as both a decision and considering its diverse consequences. It asks how and why people migrate: which structural, economic, and personal factors drive migration decisions, and how these choices are shaped by life circumstances, family situations, and gender roles. For example, to what extent are children involved in family migration decision-making? And, considering couples’ migration: which role does gender play? At the same time, the course looks beyond the moment of arrival. How do integration processes manifest over different stages of life—from childhood and youth to adulthood and old age? What role does age at arrival play, and how does a sense of belonging change throughout an individual’s life?
The course takes place July 6th to July 17th, 2026 (monday to thursday). Additionally, there will be two online sessions:
- Monday, May 11, 6 - 8 pm
