Inhoud

Contemporary societies are bound together but also divided along lines of ethnicity, gender, age, class, and sexual orientation. The course 'Multiculturalism, Diversity and Space' focuses on issues of citizenship, identity, integration and visibility that are relevant to immigrant, gender and age groups, and ethnic and sexual minorities.

In order to understand how multiculturalism and diversity are perceived and lived, the course is inspired by various theoretical perspectives which help us understand how political discourses, state institutions and markets are connected to the inclusion and exclusion of specific social groups at the level of states, cities and neighbourhoods.

The course also draws inspiration from empirical work in the field of multiculturalism and diversity. Human geography journals regularly publish research on issues of citizenship and integration policies, spatial segregation, the integration of ethnic minorities and immigrant groups, identity negotiations in specific spatial settings, place and ageing, the gendered nature of urban labour markets and urban social life, and related topics. In the various course meetings, you will have ample opportunity to become acquainted with this exciting literature and to think about how you might use it in your own work.
