HISTORY 3105 - Migration and Identity in the Modern World

Institution:

Bard College

Subject:

Description:

Human Rights, SRE Human migration predates recorded history. For the purpose of this course, however, students concentrate on the age of modernity, roughly between 1850 and the present day, which is defined, in part, by the increased volume and speed of people's movement. Rather than focus on immigration, the course concerns itself with the experiences of moving through space and across cultures. Articles, primary source documents, film, and photography are enlisted to better understand the impact of movement on the identity of individuals and communities and whether that impact is historically significant. Has it made any difference whether people migrated voluntarily or not? Have migrating peoples thought differently of their identities before and during their journey? These and other questions are considered.
