ANTH2628: Migration, Transnationalism, Mobilities
2024 unit information
From the movement of people, objects and ideas to the concept of belonging and non-belonging, anthropology has approached societies and bodies not as discrete, isolated polities, but rather, as ones that are globally and locally entangled. The unit will highlight the historical and social complexities of migration, transnationalism and mobilities in relation to other ideas such as settler/colonialism, diaspora, capitalism, diversity, multinational governance, and home. In doing so, the unit will equip students with anthropologically informed overview of inter-connection and fragmentation.
