SummaryGlobalisation and migration are topics attracting controversy in both academic and political debates. The processes of globalisation, taken as the increasing integration of economies and societies around the world, have been linked with wide-ranging social, cultural, political and economic changes. Whilst many of these processes might be thought of as 'top-down', studies of transnational migration provide a 'bottom up' perspective on global flows. This course provides both an introduction to, and a critical examination of theories of globalisation and migration, looking at questions of homogenisation and differentiation, gender and migration, transnationalism and diaspora, and alternatives to globalisation theory that include writing on the global nature of Islam.
