MA in Migration & Citizenship*
Migration has risen rapidly up the current affairs agenda. It is a key issue in political debate and a staple of media coverage. It is increasingly a matter of academic and applied research.
In the 1990s the migration discourse was dominated by refugees and asylum rights; these have been joined by debates about migration and development, immigration within Europe, and matters of citizenship, integration, diaspora and a “new” multiculturalism.
The MA in Migration & Citizenship will address global and local dimensions of migration, offering opportunities to focus on rights and legal issues; citizenship, integration and community; racism and threat; media issues; gender matters; cultures of exile; and refugees.
The course will be of interest to students with an academic/ general interest and with applied concerns relating to education, language, community, integration, employment, housing, welfare, advocacy, rights, media, and migration policy.
The programme will appeal to graduates from Development Studies, Sociology, Anthropology, Politics, International Relations, Law and Cultural Studies. It will also interest those employed in the statutory and voluntary sectors: in education, community work, housing, counselling, advocacy, law and legal aid.
