POLT 306 - Gender and Migration

FC SSCI

4 credits
This course offers an intensive analysis of the gendered dimensions of US immigration politics and policy through an examination of the specific experiences of women migrants. Using a combination of migration theory and intersectional feminist theory, we analyze historical trends that have lead to an increase in the number of women migrants, including globalization, neoliberal trade agreements, and changes in the US political landscape. We also examine gender-specific labor issues, gendered violence, and forced migration.
