Migration and Identity

The course provides an in-depth look at migration and anti-immigration in Europe. It provides students with a survey of different theoretical approaches used to theorise migration within and across Europe, examining the roots and socio-political impact of antiimmigration feelings, discourses and policies in different countries within the EU. Debates and critical analysis of migration policies and practices dealing with ethnic minorities, racism, xenophobia, human rights, deportation, border control and immigration make the bulk of the course. these are going to be addressed considering the difficulties posed by the recent migration and refugee crises and the systematic challenges of implementing a common European policy on migration.
