The material covers ideas from many disciplines. Migration represents movement across space, influencing and changing the environments of both the origin and destination locations (geography). It is both affected by and affects population structures and compositions (demography). Migration is often caused by individual or household decisions for gains in economic welfare (economics), whilst being encouraged, controlled, or restricted by states (political science). Migration involves motives for leaving and adaptation to new societies (social psychology), and affects social and cultural systems (sociology). These issues (and more) are included in the topics and discussions contained in this course.

The aim of this course is to provide you with a basic understanding of the causes underlying patterns of human migration and the subsequent consequences on population change and composition. In addition, you will be taught some analytical skills so that you may do a migration study of your own.

GGES3020 is a multidisciplinary unit designed for students with an interest in human migration and development and the interaction between the two. The module will emphasise the importance of place and scale in its approach to these themes, although it will draw on scholarship from a variety of perspectives (including development studies, anthropology, sociology and cultural studies). The material is organised around key areas of concern from the perspective of migrants’ countries/areas of origin in the ‘Global South’. The module seeks to balance an understanding of theories of migration and development with empirical contributions. To this end, lectures are illustrated with real-life case studies while students are encouraged to do the same for their coursework. The module will draw substantially on convenor’s own research, but it will also be situated within a larger pool of relevant world-wide literature.

This is a challenging module in both content and coursework. The field of migration is diverse and encompasses a broad range of aspects. The focus of this module is on developing (lower and middle income) countries, and the impact that migration has on these societies. It does not engage with EU migration, immigration and integration in the UK, Brexit and associated migration issues.
