Ethnicity, Nationalism, and Migration
( Print Version )
In the Ethnicity, Nationalism, & Migration Concentration,
students will focus on the demographic dimensions of international
studies, examining the economic, social, and political causes
and effects of population flows and the development of ethnic identities
and movements around the world. Students will draw on a wide
range
of disciplinary perspectives to become familiar with the
structure of international migrations. The concentration will include
the
study of the economic context of migrations, the formation
of migration and refugee policies, and social and cultural conflicts
in countries
of origin and in countries of destination. In addition, students
will study the development of claims for ethnic recognition
and minority rights, the challenges such claims pose for the dominance
of the nation-state, the politics of difference, and the
persistence
of nationalism and ethnicity in a context marked by the growth
of supranational organizations and the spread of global cultures.
This concentration will prepare students for work in both the
public and private sectors, including international development
agencies, and organizations focused on ethnic conflict resolution,
immigration policy, refugees, migration, and settlement. Students
will also be prepared to work in industries interested in international
labor issues and cultural marketing.
