Material Detail

The California State University and MERLOT have partnered to showcase how and why faculty have adopted Open Educational Resources (OER) to facilitate equitable access to their students’ course materials.   This Faculty Showcase represent Open Educational Practices where faculty are sharing their "know-how" for adopting OER in their courses.  

Migration is a long-standing human behavior. Despite its ancient roots, migration’s societal impacts feel fresh and pressing, eliciting emotional responses and vitriolic debate. We will critically examine migration and its impacts. Why do people migrate? Once migrants arrive at their destinations, how do they assimilate or integrate into their receiving communities, and how does this process shape attitudes toward and experiences of migrants? Who are the “winners” and “losers” of migration, and according to which measures? But just as importantly… is it problematic to conceptualize migration’s outcomes in those ways at all? 

We will draw from broad historical and contemporary examples of migration (e.g. domestic, international, forced, and climate-driven). Content will be grounded in the social and economic theories governing migration behaviors, drawing comparisons between current and historical migration trends. 

Prerequisites: Junior standing and completion of a lower-level GE Area D course
