ILRGL 4367 - Migration and Mobility: Theories and Lived Realities

Fall. 3 credits. Letter grades only.

Co-meets with ILRGL 6367.

T. Ivory.

This course will provide the student with an understanding of both classic and contemporary research and perspectives on migration and mobility, with special attention to how both inform labor market outcomes. Major topics of concern are how migration intersects with issues of law, race and ethnicity, gender and sexuality, education, employment discrimination, health, and social networks. Although course content will primarily focus on issues of migration impacting the United States, we will also consider contemporary migration issues of importance in other areas of the world.
