The MA in Migration & Diaspora Studies tackles these crucial and timely questions, providing students with the skills to understand, diagnose and articulate what is at stake in contemporary experiences of migration and diaspora; as well as contribute to the work of academics, communities, and activists engaged in reimagining a world beyond borders, and exclusionary modes of belonging. What is 'migration'; do we live in an age of 'migration', or an age of 'borders'; how are contemporary experiences of migration and border regimes racialised, and shaped by colonial histories; what is 'diaspora'; what challenges do diasporic communities bring to modern political constructions such as the nation-state, national 'imagined' communities and citizenship, and their associated metaphysics of sedentarism. The MA in Migration & Diaspora Studies is a highly interdisciplinary programme taught from a Global South perspective. It is engaged and practice oriented and offers the possibility of creative assessments along with conventional assessment forms. Students enrolled in the programme have the unique opportunity to gain work relevant experience while studying, through the module 'From Theory to Practice & Back: Work Placements in Migration Research'. Overall, this MA programme is committed to the belief that knowledge and practice produced by diasporas, migrants' grassroots organisations, activists, practitioners and artists should be intertwined with academic knowledge, and validated as part of a real decolonising effort.
