Are you wondering how immigration became such a big topic in Europe and North America? Since the 1960s, a lot has changed. We’ll dive into this together in this course!

Here’s what you’ll get from this course:
1. Learn the Story of Immigration: We’ll explore why people moved to Western countries since the 1960s, how governments reacted, and the conflicts that arose.
2. Engage in Practical Learning: You’ll complete your own research project. It’s a great chance to practice digging up sources and putting together a strong argument based on this evidence.
3. Join the Conversation: Every week, we’ll have online lectures and lively discussions. Catch the lectures every Tuesday at 1:30 pm GMT, and join our live discussion sessions on Thursdays at the same time. Got questions? Email them, post on the course forum, or ask during the live sessions!
