Migrant Workers and Human Rights

This interdisciplinary course examines precarious forms of labour migration from a critical human rights perspective. Human rights legislation, migrant “illegality,” and migrant counterstrategies are explored, along with the impacts of global economic restructuring on migrants and their families. Exploring national and international case studies across various forms of migration, this course will equip students with the skills to understand the paradoxical, inter-connected and complex relationship between migration, human rights and geopolitics.
