A number of current key issues in migration studies are discussed and analysed within this course. In it, we offer an overview and critical scrutiny of theories of migration and governance in a historical and societal context. You will be given the opportunity to deepen your understanding of a broad range of more specific themes within the field, namely theories of migration and development; migration and development in the South; migrant identities; and politics of migration. If you have a prior interest in, and experience of, related fields, you will be given the opportunity for more advanced critical analysis of these issues.
