Course content

Migration characterizes human history, and migration exists in different forms and for many different reasons all over the world. People flee from war and conflicts. Some migrate voluntarily in search for a better life for themselves and their children. Others move because of climate changes. In this course, you learn about different forms of migrations and mobility, different categories of migrants, and causes of migration. You learn about processes of cultural reproduction and change when people settle in new places, and how their position in society changes over time. Through course work, you are challenged to reflect generally and comparatively on human migration and cultural diversity and co-existence.

Learning outcome

Upon completing this course, you have developed basic anthropological knowledge about human migration, mobility, and settlement. You will have acquired knowledge about relationships between migration and mobility on the one hand and, on the other, society, culture, and identity. You have acquired knowledge about theoretical perspectives on cultural diversity and co-existence, and methods to observe and describe cultural complexity.
