Using the various forms of migrations and reasons for migration as a case study theoretical reflections on terms like migrant, refugee, voluntary or forced migration will be discussed. In order to get a better understanding of the current debate in forced migration studies several key texts, e.g. by MONSUTTI, FIDDIAN-QASEMIYEH, ZETTER, CASTLES etc. will be discussed in class.
Students will be requested to read a number of obligatory key texts, prepare summaries and discuss these texts in classroom. Next to that students will also be required to prepare a short presentation of a specific topic related to Afghan migrations. This topic together with inputs from the obligatory readings will also be the content of students´ final course papers.
This course will use different approaches: inputs by the lecturer, collective reading and discussion of key texts and other materials (e.g. videos). Students will be required to prepare short presentations on specific topics.English will be used as means of communication
