Monterey Model: Intl Migration

This course is a full Monterey Model course, which is a signature pedagogy class format, with collaborative efforts with the Chinese, Arabic, Spanish, French, Japanese and Interpretation programs. The United States is the largest recipient of international migrants, followed by the Russian Federation, Germany, Ukraine, India, France, and Saudi Arabia. California also stands at the forefront of these changes. With this in mind, this course aims to explore the Chinese migration issues in Monterey, communities in California, then move to United States, Asia, Southeast Asia, etc. from the regional perspective to a historical and global perspective. It takes a multi-disciplinary approach to examine the humanistic, social, cultural, moral, security and economic aspects as to why people migrate across international borders. Discussion topics will include but not limited to language and cultural assimilation, socio-economic integration, societal membership and belonging, international migration policy issues, etc.
