Are you a PhD student with an interest in migration? Are you looking for deeper knowledge about refugees and their migration routes? Are you interested in gaining a historical understanding of refugee migration? Then this course is for you!
During the fall of 2018, Stockholm University offers a PhD course that approaches international migration through a focus on transnational processes. Through lectures with leading migration scholars and seminars led by highly qualified experts in the field, the course participants will gain a general understanding of migration scholarship. In particular, the course will focus on refugee routes and refugees’ pursuit of a better and more secure life situation – in the contemporary world but also historically. The course is ideal for PhD students who are interested in deepening their understanding of refugee experiences, how refugee routes are embedded in other processes, and how the refugee question can be understood through a focus on transnational migration.
This is a 7.5 ECTS course during a 10-week period between October and December 2018. Confirmed guest lecturers for the course are Thomas Faist (University of Bielefeld), Marlou Schrover (University of Leiden), Deirdre McKay (Keele University) and Ruben Andersson (University of Oxford).
The interdisciplinary course welcomes participants from all subjects, disciplines, and universities. There are no fees for the course, but participants will have to cover costs for literature, accommodation and travel. For more information or to register for the course, please contact the coordinator or one of the teachers.
The course is organized by the Department of Social Anthropology and the Department of History, in cooperation with the Department of Economic History and International Relations at Stockholm University.
