SOC 784International Migration: Practice, Theory & Regulation
SOC 784 as listed in the Fall 2025 Graduate Calendar. The main page has the current version, when it runs, and seats.
This course explores theoretical perspectives on migration and critically examines how states deter or facilitate migration flows, including irregular immigration, refugees and asylum seekers, and low and high-skilled labourers. A multidisciplinary approach allows students to investigate the ubiquitous rise of border controls as a state tool to control migration, and how their implementation intersects with gender, race, class and nationality.
