My questions to be included in my case study is: Describe the context in both the destination and origin country - push and pull? What are the migration policies that affect the move? Social and economic implications of these policies.? Think about solutions? Think about questions that can arise? Rationale: Research indicates that learning in university settings is a function of attendance and participation. Furthermore, students who are actively engaged through discussion, demonstration, and teaching retain more than passive learners in this endeavour. A focus on discussion and debate (active learning) is consistent with Faculty policy on Masters-level education. Details: The final participation mark will be based on a combination of your tutorial presentation and general attendance, participation in reading groups, and contribution in seminars. Each week, one or two individuals will lead the class in a 20 minute discussion of an interesting theme that emerged from the weeks readings. This should not be a straightforward summary of a particular reading, but rather a critical analysis of the reading and the broader topics it touches upon. Students are encouraged to introduce their own material and enagage the class in activities and conversation, rather than simply 'delivering' a presentation. Core readings * Kofman, E. and V.
