More about this course

This two-week multidisciplinary course will enable you to develop all the critical thinking skills you need surrounding the twin concepts of migration and mobilities.
You?ll explore contemporary human movements within their historical context, and will also cover the current global situation of COVID-19, as well as the relation of race and racism to migration.
Firstly, you'll decipher exactly what the concept of migration means and entails, and will also establish the difference between the meanings of 'migrant' and 'immigrant'.
You'll then understand what the consequences of the label 'migrant' are, using the experiences of individuals, extensive data sets and wider public debate.
Then, comparing a variety of different disciplinary contributions to the study of human movement, you'll identify the reasons as to why people migrate using a range of personal experiences in host countries.
You'll then assess the role of the media and of the law in shaping public perception of migrants and migration, before reflecting on the assumptions you bring to debates on migration.
The study of migration mobilities at the University of Bristol crosses five faculties and 22 schools and departments. As well as interdisciplinary research expertise of more than 200 scholars working in this field, the course is also able to draw on strong international networks.
This means that you?ll have access to key thinkers within global institutions, as well as local and national communities of practice all around the globe.
