| Content | ***This course is overbooked, please do not register anymore*** International migration and displacement are among the main challenges of the 21st century. In a world order based on nation-states and against the background of an insufficient international system for the protection of refugees, flight migration is confronted with numerous restrictions and challenges. This seminar focuses on questions of access in the context of global migratory movements. By means of an interdisciplinary approach, three main challenges will be covered: access to rights, protection and asylum; access to territories, spaces and cross-border mobility; and access to resources, citizenship and belonging. The seminar will discuss how the notion of «access» can be conceptualized and what novel insights can be gained through an interdisciplinary approach. In addition, the seminar will question in how far global inequality and power structures affect questions of access, in particular in the European context, and reflect on the implications this has for the global system of migration and freedom of movement. The seminar aims not only to transcend the disciplinary boundaries between law, political science, and sociology, but also to bring together students from the Universities of Basel and Bonn as part of the Katekisama program between the Institute for European Global Studies of the University of Basel and the University of Bonn. |
| Learning objectives | Students will study the basics of refugee and migration research from three different disciplinary perspectives and learn how to approach interdisciplinary research. Students will engage in a conversation across national and disciplinary borders and critically reflect on questions of access of refugees to rights, territories, and resources. They will equally be confronted with questions of social and global justice and analyze mechanisms of global inequality. |
| Bibliography | Readings will be announced before the first session and made available. |
