PSCI 20715 - Immigration Politics and Policy

Course Credit: 1
(LAST)
This course examines both the historical development of U.S. immigration law (immigration as policy) and how the rhetoric surrounding the issue influences public opinion (immigration as politics). The course also addresses key topics in the contemporary study of immigration including practices of transnationalism and immigrant political activism in an era of securitization and border militarization. A comparative approach will be used to provide a counterpoint to the U.S. case so that students understand the broader underpinnings of international migration flows. [HSS]
