Material Detail

The purpose of this assignment is to apply an interdisciplinary approach to collect information regarding a variety of economic topics. The assignment will connect an oral history approach to the examination of economic development concepts such as push and pull factors related to immigration decisions, job opportunities in the host country, and issues related to brain drain. In addition, students will be able to explore other relevant migration concerns such as assimilation and discrimination. The project develops a student's ability to understand and integrate these concepts from a variety of perspectives and real world situations.In brief, students will interview local immigrants from less developed countries (LDCs) regarding their experiences in the process of resettlement. This activity is designed for an economic development course, but it can be easily adapted to other courses involved with immigration issues such as labor economics, international economics, and economies in transition.
