This class will explore why people worldwide need to move from their native lands to new locales, the terms used to describe this movement and the factors associated with the need to move including war, famine, climate change, political economic systems and globalization. We will explore questions related to the politics behind the movement of people, and why nation states struggle to apply a uniform immigration policy in a world dominated by transnational corporations need for a fluid labor force. We will also examine specific examples of immigrant/refugee communities in the United States and the struggles they have faced to become accepted members of the American mosaic.
