The course explores the complexity of the process of migration from both global and local perspectives in the socio-spatial context on an emerging Europeanization. Key concepts and general theories are introduced in order to locate the migration discourse across current European Union. A diachronic approach is emphasized building a historical knowledge which allows students to analyze current events with a critical approach. The lectures and seminars analyze historic transcontinental migration, rural to urban migration in the context of the gastarbeiters and the origin/target ambivalence of the south of Europe. In order to understand and comprehend social current context specific readings and case studies are analyzed focused on ethnicity, social inequalities and the impact of post-socialism. A local micro perspective is provided in order to understand the impact of migration in the European cities. Finally, the course questions the process of return locating it in current academic discussions.
