Course content

Through studies of the immigration to Sweden from a historical perspective, a basis for studies of migration-driving factors is given. The current situation in immigration areas important for Sweden, the living conditions of people there and how this influences integration actions in Sweden are discussed. The life of immigrants and refugees in their new home country, and how the Swedish majority society is influenced by the encounter with the cultures and lifestyles of minorities are also discussed.

Teaching and working methods

The teaching takes the form of lectures, literature studies, teaching sessions, seminars, group work and discussions with problem-based and thematically orientated working methods. The work is carried out both individually and in groups of different kinds.

Examination

The course is examined in both oral and written form, individually and in groups. The oral examination consists of presentations of the immigration to Sweden during different periods and how the majority society has been influenced. The written group assignment consists of country and conflict analyses of migration countries important for Sweden and factors important for Swedish integration.

The course is examined through an individual written examination where the course literature is the important starting point.

Grades

Other information

Planning and implementation of a course must take its starting point in the wording of the syllabus. The course evaluation included in each course must therefore take up the question how well the course agrees with the syllabus. The course is carried out in such a way that both men´s and women´s experience and knowledge is made visible and developed.
