Learning outcomes
The course presents them with a study of migration through two approaches: 1) Understanding migrants as entities, while emphasizing their actors' ability to cope with exclusion, constituting functional social networks and demonstrating pragmatic knowledge of local rules; 2) Understanding migrants as objects constructed by the population of the target country as an alternative, while the migration process itself is seen as a transformation process for both individuals and society.
