WiSe 17/18: Refuge and Migration in the Middle East
Sophia Hoffmann
Comments
The modern Middle East has not just been shaped by, but has indeed emerged from, human mobility in all its forms: nomadism, labour migration, violent displacement through war and conflict, and due to environmental change.
Throughout the 20th and 21st century, Middle Eastern societies have integrated, both temporarily and permanently, migrant communities from neighbouring countries and from further afield. Migration continues to play a huge role in Middle Eastern politics today, both domestically and as part of the region’s international relations. Students who take this course will gain a good understanding of the key political, economic, humanitarian and academic debates surrounding migration in the Middle East today. The course is based on a wide variety of texts. Aside from academic analyses, we will learn from NGO reports, memoirs, fiction, newspaper clippings and films.
