About this subject
This unit explores the socio-cultural and political contexts, dimensions, and outcomes of migration and the cross-cultural flows they produce. We draw on concepts from sociology, development studies, anthropology and human geography to examine the forces that drive increased mobility—including humanitarian emergency situations and extreme weather events that destroy livelihoods and homes, ageing societies and care networks, and economic and social aspirations. We consider influential debates, policies and practices that seek to categorise and exert control over people on the move, which challenge us to develop intellectual positions on contemporary issues of justice, rights and the securitisation of migration in their local and global dimensions. Finally, we consider the implications, challenges, and opportunities of human migration, ranging from the personal to the geopolitical, and attendant cultural and religious diversity, economic and social remittances, and impacts on families and entire communities. Please Note: All students studying at Murdoch University will need to complete the compulsory unit, Murdoch Academic Passport (MAP100), which only takes 2-3 hours to complete online.
