Inhoud

Why do people decide to move elsewhere and why do they decide to stay? Over the past thirty years, migration history has become one of the most vibrant historical subfields. This course introduces students to the most important approaches and concepts that scholars have used to analyse migration throughout history. It will also provide an overview of the most important migratory movements affecting the Southern Low Countries/Belgium since the late medieval period, debunking the myth that migration was only a phenomenon of major importance during most recent times. We will see how migration has shaped societies and how it was shaped by factors such as gender, nationalism and xenophobia and economic and environmental change.
