WiSe 18/19: Immigration and Ethnography

Gesche Loft

Hinweise für Studierende

Like the academic discipline of American studies, the topic of immigration in the U.S. (and elsewhere in the world) lends itself to an interdisciplinary perspective: There are countless touchpoints between immigration and history, the economy, culture, and politics; including the concepts of differential (economic) inclusion, intersectionality, “crimmigration”, and conflicting perceptions of citizenship and belonging (including “urban citizenship” and sanctuary, which question the established political boundaries of the nation-state). The first half of this seminar will look at some of these touchpoints as they have unfolded in the U.S. ----- In the second half, we will begin to look at one method that can be used to analyze these touchpoints systematically, especially in the social and cultural sciences: qualitative empirical research, namely ethnography. Typical ethnographic research questions would include, for example: How does differential economic exclusion affect migrants’ everyday lives? How do cultural narratives of “deserving” vs. “undeserving” immigrants affect policies in receiving states or cities? After acquiring an overview of ethnographic methods, students are encouraged to pursue their own empirical mini-project within the scope of the seminar. Schließen
