Extension of applications submission until the 18th of September.
The post-graduate Program ‘Migration Studies: Management of Migratory and Refugee Flows in Europe’ is a new, original concept instigated by the Department of Sociology of the University of the Aegean. It is the first international Master’s degree in Migration Studies (MMS) in Greece to be entirely taught in English and one of the few European Courses that articulately combines interdisciplinary perspectives on issues of migration. The Course aims to equip students with the skills and knowledge to understand the multifaceted phenomenon of migration, forced relocation, human rights, global health, discrimination and integration.
Course Overview:
Students will be introduced to key theoretical concepts including an overview of the historical accounts of human mobility, the basic principles of humanitarian law and its interplay with human and migrant rights, along with existing migration, asylum and integration policies, which target to enable resilient societies and set a positive example of best practices.
Emphasis will be drawn to the contemporary discourse on medical anthropology, and to debates such as cultural diversity, pandemic, social representations, interculturalism, body and gender, medical knowledge and health practices. The psychosocial dimensions of forced relocation and migration will be also scrutinized, focusing on the frequently experienced refugee trauma, especially by victims of torture, of inhumane and ill treatment, and by survivals of genocidal atrocities.
The course also offers a comprehensive discourse analysis of international migration, covering a multitude of genres, as social and political acts are interlaced, examining the contingencies of individual and collective action. Furthermore, students will explore fundamental techniques and methodological tools applying to demographic, statistical and epidemiological research, and will be introduced to crime and counter crime in forced migration in an international context, accentuating the ambiguous connection between ethnic minority groups, power of the state and crime.
