MODULE 1: THE CONTEMPORARY PERSPECTIVE

The two modules of the resource explore the migratory experiences of diverse ethnic, linguistic, and religious groups. This comprises population movements that take place in multiple directions and take a wide range of forms, from voluntary migration, such as tourism, to forced deportations of entire communities, displacement due to war (both internal and cross-border), and even situations where movement is restricted or entirely prevented.

This first module takes a contemporary perspective, with four units exploring ethical and methodological challenges of research, visual politics of migration, the possibilities, limitations and politics of migration data, and volunteering in wartime.
