Dear Colleagues and prospective MA Students,
There are still a few places available on our new MA course in Migration
and Social Cohesion will start in October 2011. The MA focuses on the
interplay between migration and social cohesion in contemporary
societies. It is informed by cutting edge research undertaken in the
field by the Institute for the Study of European Transformations (ISET)
of London Metropolitan University.
Topic
The current transformation of global and local contexts coincides with
an intensification of migration and an increased awareness of the
diversity of societies across the globe. In the process, social
cohesion, i.e. the institutional and personal bonds bringing people
together in the context of socio-cultural diversity, has emerged as a
key phenomenon and policy concept for understanding and managing such
transformations. The relationship between migration and social cohesion
will increasingly become a key issue and concern for societies and
policy-makers across the globe.
Skills and Employment
The MA in Migration and Social Cohesion will provide students with
strategic research and policymaking skills to understand and respond to
the interplay between migration and social cohesion in contemporary
times. It will also enable students to analyse and address the main
social processes informing this interplay, including:
post-industrialism; globalisation; individualism; the transformation of
political, gender and sexual identities; consumerism; and the interplay
between religion, politics and secularisation.
The MA in Migration and Social Cohesion is designed for those who wish
to work as researchers, policy-makers and practitioners in the following
areas:
- local, national and international governmental and non-governmental
organisations and the voluntary sector, particularly in the areas of
community relations, local regeneration, migrant and refugee rights, and
trafficking for sexual and labour exploitation.
- cross-cultural, inter-faith, cultural management in public and private
sectors.
