In addition to its academic work, the FMSP provides research services

visit www.migration.org.za for more details on the courses below.

Introduction to Forced Migration
GRAD 4021/5076/7029
(First Term)
This survey course introduces students to issues related to contemporary
experiences of forced migration and international humanitarianism, and
situates these movements within the broader context of international
migration and urbanisation.

The Logics and Methods of Forced Migration Research
GRAD 4047/5090/7056
(First Term)
This course is intended to strengthen students’ capacity for critical,
independent social research. The focus is on understanding social
science’s objectives and logics, enhancing students’ skills for
evaluating the merits of published materials, and developing strategies
for conducting methodologically sound, theoretically relevant research
in the environments where refugees and forced migrants are typically
found.

The Psychosocial and Health Consequences of Forced Migration
GRAD 4042/5087/7052
(Second Term)
This course provides a critical introduction to the health and
psychosocial consequences of forced migration. The theoretical core of
the course draws primarily from a public health perspective on
humanitarian interventions and rights based arguments relating to health
care of forced migrants. It explores the relationships between the state
of being a forced migrant and the conditions that create vulnerabilities
to ill health, specifically with regard to HIV/AIDS; mental and
reproductive health.

Identity, Movement, and Control: Theories of Southern African Migration
SOSS 4019/7025
(Second Term)
This course aims to provide students with a broad and critical
understanding of theories of human migration. The approach draws on
political science, sociology, anthropology and human geography to place
the core principles and developments in refugee and migration studies
into a larger context and history.
