Description

This course systematically investigates the issues of international migration in the modern world from a sociological perspective. The main goal of this course is to provide students with an understanding of the emerging global dynamics of migration and its consequences for migrants and non-migrants everywhere in a comparative perspective. Various migratory movements and settlement patterns in different regions and countries are discussed. Some special attention is also given to Canadian experience so that students can develop a better understanding of immigration and settlement issues of Canada in a global context.
