| Inhalt | This course aims at the examination of selected Eastern European migration processes and debates on belonging, multiculturalism, and integration, with a special focus on the case of Ukraine. The course begins with overview of diverse forms of migrations, from deportations and forced politically driven refuge-seeking resettlements to economically caused labor short-term pendulum or long-term long-distance migrations that defined Ukrainian and East European history in the 20th and 21st centuries. For the last decade Ukraine was among the top ten countries suppling highest number of migrants in the World. Not less important are internal migrations that were often caused by military conflict and violence, and became a key factor of societal transformations as well as discussion on belonging. In the second part of the course, the impact of internal migration caused by Russia’s annexation of Crimea and the armed conflict over Donbas will be examined through the multiscalar optics, with a special attention to the different cultural markers of belonging of various Ukrainian ethnic and cultural groups, including the Muslim population of Crimea (since 2015, with two millions of internally displaced persons (IDPs), Ukraine has been the fifth country in the world, and the first in Europe by the number of IDPs). Another important theme of the course is the impact of migration from Ukraine and Eastern Europe on European and American history, and on the current global trends. Therefore, the course participants will engage in the interactive collaborative discovery of several key problems such as Ukraine’s place in the care chain, gender aspects of migration, trans-Atlantic intellectual migration, global diasporas, migrants as important transnational development agents, artistic representations of migration, the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic. |
| Lernziele | By exploring research potential of various historical and sociological approaches the course shall introduce students to current trends in theoretical discussions in the field of migration studies, help them to rethink the main concepts and their applicability to the region. The course shall help students to build an expertise on the specificity of cultural and social processes of transnational and internal migrations in Ukraine and Eastern Europe during the Soviet and post-Soviet periods. In addition, it will introduce students to a wide range of case studies, and it will teach them how to translate theoretical knowledge into the practical field. |
