Students will examine historical and current trends in migration patterns and consider \n the different ways economic change and migration affect various sectors of society, such as \n youth, women, LGBTQ people, indigenous communities, Central Americans, urbanites, and rural \n farmers. As a result, students will be able to construct a nuanced understanding of migration and \n how people are responding to the consequences and opportunities.","bbox":{"left":0.117686,"top":0.38636,"width":0.765073,"height":0.13074999999999998}},{"text":"The ongoing development of formalized, enforced borders will also be a major focus of this \n course. Students will visit Mexico’s northern and southern borders and learn about state efforts \n to restrict human mobility across international boundaries while learning about how these efforts \n can generate greater levels of vulnerability for migrants, including serious human rights abuses. \n Other excursions and site visits in Oaxaca will provide various opportunities for students to hear \n directly from those people and communities deeply affected by undocumented migration to the \n United States. This course, and program, focuses on undocumented migration due to the \n immense human impact, political and social tension, and student interest.","bbox":{"left":0.117686,"top":0.529952,"width":0.764943,"height":0.13097099999999995}},{"text":"Learning Outcomes \n By the end of the course, students will be able to:","bbox":{"left":0.117686,"top":0.689719,"width":0.391577,"height":0.03514399999999995}},{"text":"• \n •","bbox":{"left":0.147098,"top":0.739559,"width":0.008296999999999999,"height":0.03408500000000003}},{"text":"Compare and contrast the distinct eras of Mexican migration to the United States; \n Analyze how changes in US immigration and border policy have shaped and reshaped \n migration from Central America and Mexico to the United States; \n Describe how different populations and demographics are affected by migration; \n Describe how border enforcement strategies aimed at curbing unauthorized immigration \n to the US have changed in recent years and what consequences have resulted from these \n efforts; \n Identify and Explain policy changes that could address the causes of consequences of \n undocumented migration;","bbox":{"left":0.176503,"top":0.738588,"width":0.706356,"height":0.15070099999999997}},{"text":"• \n •","bbox":{"left":0.147098,"top":0.789445,"width":0.008296999999999999,"height":0.03389600000000004}},{"text":"•","bbox":{"left":0.147098,"top":0.855203,"width":0.008296999999999999,"height":0.01707700000000001}},{"text":"Copyright © School for International Training.
