Week 1: Introduction and Overview; Lecturers: Robert Gibb andDominic Pasura (18 items)This introductory session will provide an overview of the course, explaining its aims andobjectives, and presenting its structure and content. A key theme running through thecourse is ‘questioning assumptions, categories and binary oppositions’ in relation to globalmigrations, and this will also be introduced. Historical and contemporary processes ofmigration will then briefly be explored, and recent claims about the globalisation,differentiation, acceleration, feminisation and politicisation of migration discussed. One ofthe main points highlighted will be that historical evidence shows that ‘migration is anormal part of social relations’ (Castles 2010: 1568) and that ‘what is abnormal,changeable and historically constructed is the idea that human societies need to constructpolitical borders and institutions that constrain spatial mobility… such that immobilitybecomes the norm’ (Favell 2013: 271). Finally, time will be devoted at the end topreparing the last session of the course: (Week 10:) Representations (literary and other).Members of the class will be invited to suggest a poem, novel, short story, piece of musicor art, and/or film that everyone will read/listen to/watch and come prepared to discuss inthe final week.

over time? Are there a different set of explanations for the initiation of migration asopposed to its continuation? Why do some people stay put? The lecture, taking aninterdisciplinary perspective, assesses and analyses the central concepts and theoreticalperspectives pertaining to the study of global migration. Distinguish between theindividual’s desires and motives to move and the structural and macro changes thatencourage movement. What are the permissive and inhibiting factors at a meso-level: forexample, immigration policies? We will also examine some of the alternative conceptualframeworks to explain contemporary migration, integrative approaches e.g., socialnetworks, diaspora and transnationalism, migration and social transformation.

Week 3: Where do people move ?; Lecturer: Francesca Stella (25 items)Do we live in 'the age of migration'? Where are people moving from and to, and how hasthis changed over time? Do people 'on the move' always move across internationalborders? How does the changing nature of borders and migration affect people'smobilities? In this session, we will critically interrogate the scale and direction ofinternational migration, and also attempt to integrate insights from internal andinternational migration theory. We will also consider how the control of people's mobilitieshas changed over time, and how this may impact on migrants' trajectories and livedexperiences of migration.

Week 4: How do people move ?; Lecturer: Robert Gibb (25 items)How do people move? How have attempts been made historically and in contemporarysocieties to facilitate, control or stop the movement of human beings from one place toanother? These are the two main questions that this session aims to explore. It willexamine the different means of transport people use (when they are not travelling onfoot!) in order to move, and also how specific ways of moving come to be defined as ‘legal’or ‘illegal’ by national, regional and international authorities and institutions. The sessionwill focus in particular on issues raised by the phenomena of ‘clandestine migration’ and‘migrant smuggling’.

Week 5: Political Structures; Lecturer: Gareth Mulvey (14 items)

11/25

06/14/20 Global Migrations: Histories, Structures, Experiences | University of Glasgow

This lecture looks at the political structures in which migrations take place. This will beginwith a critical appraisal of the role of the nation state on the premise that without theexistence of nation states there would be no such thing as international migration. Thusthe history of the nation state, the construction of nation states and their existence aretaken as something to be contested, not something primordial. We will then go on toexamine national policies and practices. How do states develop their approaches and why?What do states or governments want from migration and what architecture is created tofacilitate this. These questions will touch upon many of the ‘big’ socio-political issues oftoday, including the ways policies look at race and class as a means of determining whoare wanted and unwanted migrants; the relationships between globalisation/neoliberalismand national welfare regimes; the importance of history in the form of post-colonialism;and the question of whether states’ ability to control migration is increasing throughtechnology, or decreasing through more global pressures. Underpinning this is therelationship between politics and policy.

Week 6: Economic Structures; Lecturer: Francesca Stella (34 items)In this seminar we will explore changing structures facilitating or hindering labourmigration. The seminar will focus in particular on Europe, although with comparativereference to other migration contexts. We will look at on the role of national/supranationalpolicies and the market in creating these structures. As Swiss novelist Max Frisch wrote,European governments ‘asked for workers, but human beings came’. Thus, in the secondpart of the seminar, we will turn to research on migrants’ experiences to criticallyinterrogate assumptions about ‘the migrant worker’ made in policy debates.

Week 8: Everyday experiences; Lecturer: Teresa Piacentini (32 items)This seminar will look at migrants’ experiences and their everyday encounters withlong-settled populations. We consider how migrants’ lives are shaped by the political,economic and cultural processes explored in previous seminars. The session will bebroadly structured around two themes: physical and symbolic borders, and how processesof bordering are created, shaped, and reinforced by intersecting variables of difference;and interactions between migrants and populations with a migrant background andnon-migrants, and how these interactions play out in a range of social contexts.Throughout, we will explore differences in immigration status in relation to everydayexperiences.

Week 9: Solidarity and Resistance; Lecturer: Teresa Piacentini (27 items)Migrant solidarity and resistance - as witnessed in movements such as Refugees Welcome,No Borders and 1DayWithoutUs - are concepts that have gained purchase in recent years.This is largely because of increasingly restrictive local, national and international contextsof reception migrants have to face in places of settlement. These contexts arecharacterised by extensive and regressive control mechanisms monitoring welfare,movement and consumption, which create conditions that make it very difficult, but notimpossible, to accommodate any form of action or opposition. In this session, the focuswill shift to how migrants - people claiming asylum, refugees, undocumented migrants,migrant workers - may resist the structural processes that frame their categorisation as aproblem to be resolved. Through engaging with how resistance is theorised, and drawingfrom case studies, we will be exploring what resistance might mean as a force structuralchange.
