This is an Interdisciplinary course that critically examines human (im)mobilities by focusing on the physical, legal, and discursive construction of borders; the racializing and gendering components of citizenship and membership; the legal and political aspects of forced migration; the settler colonial legacies of racial capitalism; and the geopolitical effects of non-human factors and climate change on mobility. It is intended to further familiarize graduate students to concepts and methodologies drawn from political science, sociology, anthropology, history, international affairs, Black feminist theory and critical geography. Students are encouraged to bring in insight from their research for the final project. This course is part of the Conflict & Security concentration and Governance & Rights concentration Development concentration in the Julien J. Studley Graduate Programs in International Affairs.
