GOVERNING MIGRATION IN EUROPE Professeur : Marie Bassi (bassi.marie@gmail.com) Année universitaire 2015/2016 : Semestre d automne Course description: The course will offer an introduction to migration studies in the European context from a sociological and political science perspective. Students will gain insight into the multi-level, multi-stakeholder nature of European migration and asylum governance. The course will on the one hand introduce students to important theoretical perspectives pertaining to migration studies and on the other will touch on the empirical realities of migration governance through an analysis of key actors, policies, practices and migrant experiences. Furthermore, the course will explore current discourses on the securitisation of migration and present a rival framework based on a right to mobility. Drawing on a range of sources including the interdisciplinary migration studies scholarship, policy documents, photos and migrant narratives, students would also be expected to develop their ability to analyse discourse.
