Course content
How migrants are received and incorporated in the countries in which they settle varies. In some countries there are much political and societal attention to 'integration', while in other countries this has less significance. In this course, we compare different forms of incorporation and coexistence. We discuss integration from a perspective of power, as well as perspectives on multiculturalism and cosmopolitanism as social forms of coexistence.
