Learning Outcomes

The students who have succeeded in this course;
This is a demanding, but rewarding, class! I expect you to devote considerable time and energy to the course. Those unable to make the commitment should not enroll. In return, I will share my passion for migration studies and help you gain a deeper understanding of the topic and social science research. By the end of the course, you will have:
(i) a solid understanding of basic migration patterns, legal structures & academic debates;
(ii) hands-on experience gathering, organizing & analyzing different types of empirical data;
(iii) knowledge on migration studies about Turkey.

Course Content

The course is divided into five major sections:
(i) Historical and Theoretical Frameworks
(ii) “Why do people migrate?”
(iii) Migration, Rights & Identities in a Globalizing World
(iv) International Migration, Migration Politics and Social Transformation
(v) Migration Studies in Turkey

We deal with how sociologists understand migration. Weeks 1-3 are introductory and theoretical; Week 4-5 are concerned with major ‘types’ or ‘forms’ of migration, deals with globalization and diasporas (theoretical and typological). There will be presentations covering different examples of migration and diaspora at the following part of the term, but revision classes will be held and videos will be shown. The reading programme for the second part of the term will be published at a later date.
