Migration - Contemporary Debates (CanopyLAB)

Offered by CanopyLAB,

Through multiple case studies, you will learn how Migration theories and concepts are applied to understand education and economic migration in regions in Europe, Asia and the Middle East.

Migration and migrants are umbrella terms that too often have been used ubiquitously and incorrectly in mass media. In this course, we will look into the distinct experiences of subgroups that could be referred to by the term "migrant", including asylum seekers, refugees, economic migrants and international students.

You will hear first hand from international students and academics who research economic migrants. They will help you understand the situation from multiple perspectives, and suggest how you can be more critical about the information you see, and what actions you can take to help tackle migration issues.
Unit 1: Rethinking the So-Called Refugee Crisis
Unit 2: Migration Through Education Opportunities: The Case of Studying Abroad in South Korea
Unit 3: Migrants, Refugees and Social Media: A Case Study of Migrants in Denmark
Unit 4: Abuse of Labor Migrants: A Case Study of Labor Migrants for the 2022 World Cup in Qatar
