GEOG 3026 - Global International Migration

North Terrace Campus - Semester 2 - 2018

This course is designed to introduce students to the scale, composition, characteristics, causes, effects and implications of evolving patterns of population movement between nations. It focuses especially on the relationship between migration on the one hand and economic development, environmental issues and social change on the other, arguing that the relationship is complex and multi-directional. It introduces the concept of diaspora and investigates its increasing significance. While the focus is on global patterns and issues there is a concentration on Australia and the Asia Pacific region to illustrate the main emerging patterns. A number of theories which have been put forward to explain migration are investigated and assessed. There is a particular concentration on the role of policy with respect to both the migration process and the reception of migrants in destination countries. Migration is a strongly gendered process and the migration of women, its distinct causes and implications are examined. Student migration is another topic of interest that will be examined in the course.

  • Learning & Teaching Activities
    Learning & Teaching Modes



    This course is based on examining policies and migration outcomes in Australia and internationally. Skill building tasks will involve accessing data and working to establish trends and patterns in migration, as well as understanding the settlement and labourforce experience of migrants relevant and useful to students when engaged in the workforce or undertaking Postgraduate research. The pedagogical approach is one designed to develop deep and critical thinking and tutorials will be encompass debate and problem solving of complex migration issues, in Australia and abroad.

    This course will use a mixed method approach comprising of lectures and tutorials (some flipped classroom mode) –tutorials will have presentations given by students around set topics. Lectures will focus on content delivery and will be recorded and many resources uploaded to MYUNI or given for students to access on line. One articulate session will be used in this course.

  • Student Feedback

    The University places a high priority on approaches to learning and teaching that enhance the student experience. Feedback is sought from students in a variety of ways including on-going engagement with staff, the use of online discussion boards and the use of Student Experience of Learning and Teaching (SELT) surveys as well as GOS surveys and Program reviews.

    SELTs are an important source of information to inform individual teaching practice, decisions about teaching duties, and course and program curriculum design. They enable the University to assess how effectively its learning environments and teaching practices facilitate student engagement and learning outcomes. Under the current SELT Policy (http://www.adelaide.edu.au/policies/101/) course SELTs are mandated and must be conducted at the conclusion of each term/semester/trimester for every course offering. Feedback on issues raised through course SELT surveys is made available to enrolled students through various resources (e.g. MyUni). In addition aggregated course SELT data is available.

  • Student Support
  • Policies & Guidelines
  • Fraud Awareness

    Students are reminded that in order to maintain the academic integrity of all programs and courses, the university has a zero-tolerance approach to students offering money or significant value goods or services to any staff member who is involved in their teaching or assessment. Students offering lecturers or tutors or professional staff anything more than a small token of appreciation is totally unacceptable, in any circumstances. Staff members are obliged to report all such incidents to their supervisor/manager, who will refer them for action under the university's student鈥檚 disciplinary procedures.
