Kommentar

Due to the political and economic process of European integration, new forms of migration have emerged within Europe. This development has been facilitated by the institutionalisation of the freedom of movement for citizens of the European Union (EU). In this course, we will take a closer look at how this specific European migration space has evolved and how intra-European migration - for which the term "mobility" is often used - differs from more traditional forms of labour migration. We will especially take a closer look at two types of intra-European migration, i.e. student mobility and the mobility of young, highly-skilled professionals, the so-called "Eurostars". Furthermore, we will engage with the different causes and consequences of these new forms of migration, for individuals as well as for societies as a whole. Here, we will focus on themes such as transnational friendship formation, identity change and social inequality. Besides getting an insight into a specific area of migration research, participants will thus also become more familiar with general sociological themes and topics. Important note: This course will only start in the second week of the semester, i.e. on 20th October 2015. Furthermore, there is an excursion planned for January 2016. Assessment: Regular attendance and preparation for each seminar session (based on the course material) as well as active participation in class which occasionally includes a short presentation (10 min max.), chairing a discussion and/or a session protocol. The course concludes with a final written exam (90 min). Schließen
