Course content
In this course is offered the opportunity to attain in-depth knowledge of historical and sociological perspectives on migration and ethnic relations by focusing on a particular area or problem. Central themes of the course concern the application of theories and concepts to the study of contemporary issues in migration and ethnic relations and their relation to society; they also concern different approaches and methods for concrete empirical investigations of migration processes, migrant experiences and changing legal and normative frameworks on local, national, regional or global level.
Teaching and working methods
Teaching in the course has the workshop format, with a substantial portion of independent studies and seminars. Language of instruction is English.
Examination
The course is examined through active seminar participation and written assignments. Detailed information about the examination can be found in the course’s study guide.
If the LiU coordinator for students with disabilities has granted a student the right to an adapted examination for a written examination in an examination hall, the student has the right to it. If the coordinator has instead recommended for the student an adapted examination or alternative form of examination, the examiner may grant this if the examiner assesses that it is possible, based on consideration of the course objectives.
Students failing an exam covering either the entire course or part of the course twice are entitled to have a new examiner appointed for the reexamination.
Students who have passed an examination may not retake it in order to improve their grades.
