Migration in the Americas

This course examines the recent literature on contemporary migration processes and international migration flows throughout the Americas. The course focuses on understanding the causes of migration, the migration process, the dynamics of adaptation and incorporation into receiving societies, and connections between migrant communities and countries of origin. The course will also examine the historical development and the nature of the main debates on migration policy throughout the Americas. This course is equivalent to BLS 3044 and HSP 3044. Students will receive credit for only one of these courses. These courses may not substitute for each other in the F grade replacement policy.
