Migration in Europe – New Dimensions, Interdisciplinary Approaches, Plural Perspectives –
Oldenburg October 5 – 22, 2009 Intensive Programme
As JMMIR is a blended learning study programme. Its start up consists of an Intensive Programme (IP) taking place in and being organised by Oldenburg University – with strong inputs from all involved partner universities. Students and teachers will spend 18 days in October in order to get to know each other in person, to learn about the study programme and the e-learning dimension and to acquire basic knowledge on migration and intercultural relations.
The grant received from the EU will cover 75% of students travel, provide accommodation and meals.
Content:
The Intensive Programme will introduce students to interdisciplinary theory and empirical research in migration studies by an international team of teachers. The focus will be on contemporary European migration, addressing national contingencies as well as global dimensions. Students will examine key categories and concepts and develop a well established basic knowledge of migration research. A substantial component will be conducted locally through fieldwork in order to integrate theory and praxis and to allow for a multi-perspective commitment. Consequently there will be a feedback loop connecting praxis to theory.
The activities will include interdisciplinary seminars, presentations, lectures, workshops, working groups and field visits. Participants will be familiarised with the specifics of intercultural learning methods as well as e-learning techniques.
Beside the formation of international working teams the expected outputs will include students’ working results, presented as papers and/or multimedia supported documents.
