WiSe 23/24: Migration and integration: main theories and their empirical applications

Céline Teney

Comments

Migration and integration belong to the key topics discussed in the European public debate. Moreover, empirical studies on these topics have boomed since the 2015 so-called “European refugee crisis”. In this seminar, we will review the main theories of integration and migration and discuss them in the light of empirical studies applying these theories within the European context. The students will get to know key theories of integration and migration, starting from the classical theories (e.g., assimilation theory, neo-classical economics of migration) and encompassing recent advancement in theory of integration and migration (e.g., ethnic boundary making theory, aspirations-capabilities migration framework). In the first part of the seminar, we will focus on theories of integration, while the second part will be dedicated to migration theories. In each seminar session, we will review a different theory of integration or migration and discuss its main strengths and weaknesses and its potential empirical application to the European context. close
