Course Description

In today’s world, migration and the politics of borders are issues that cut across economic, political and socio-cultural concerns in all societies and nation-states. Indeed, migration, ethnicity and cultural diversity are features of contemporary societies that focus attention on the future shape of social justice and the meaning of a ‘good society’.

This course brings together experts from different disciplinary and theoretical perspectives to explore key aspects of these issues from a political economy lens.

The course explores these issues through the following topics: precarious labour; macroeconomics and migration; the racialization of welfare; EU labor agreements; the moral economies of migration; the migrant detention economy; alternative migration policies toward social justice. The course offers students insights from research that engages with local, regional and global policy, advocacy and resistance. 

The course directors are Professors Peo Hansen and Claudia Tazreiter. Guest lecturers include Professors Branka Likic-Brboric, Jonathon Moses, Karin Krifors and Anders Neergaard.
