【Course Objectives】

Human migration has been growing in volume. Any analysis of society is incomplete without an examination of migration. The objective of this study is to understand how immigrant entrepreneurship is related to the adaptation and survival strategies taken by immigrants. In particular, we will focus on how immigrant resources to start their businesses have impacts on ethnic communities. Finally, we will address the issue of migration and citizenship.

【Course Contents】

This course provides an introductory overview of the field of migration studies. To understand human migration, we will first discuss why people move. We will also review general theories of immigrant adaptation. Theoretical frameworks for understanding migration reviewed in this course range from classic migration theories of the Chicago School to the recent institutional approach to migration.
