Course content
The course provides both overviews and in-depth theoretical knowledge in the field of intersectional migration studies, with a particular emphasis on postcolonial feminist studies, intersectional queer theory and sociocultural perspectives on embodiment. The course consists of different themes where students read key readings in the field, and, through different exercises, learn to identify and analyse intersections of different social categories. A particular focus will be to investigate how gender, sexuality and the body intersect with the concepts of migration, ethnicity, race, culture and nation.
