HIST 270 Migration Stories
This course uses both social science and humanistic methods to explore the history of migration and immigration, including both voluntary and forced migrations. Topics may include patterns of collective human movement within and across borders, the causes and consequences of migration, the influence of economic, political, environmental, and cultural factors on migration, the experiences of migrants, the responses of host societies, and the role of immigration in shaping national identities and maintaining global interconnections. The course encourages critical reflection on contemporary debates about migration and immigration by grounding them in historical contexts. Time periods and regions may vary. A total of 6 hours of credit may be earned, but no more than 3 in any one semester or term, and only 3 hours can count toward the Core Curriculum.
