Sociology

Sociology

Globalization and migration have impacted European, and particularly Scandinavian, communities in ways that in turn challenge cultural hegemony.

How do traditionally homogeneous countries, especially welfare states where social cohesion has been a factor of their structural success, evolve with the increase of migration? And in turn how does different state policies impact migrants and refugees and their ability to belong?

Challenge your own opinions and learn from perspectives on all sides as you explore the social, political, and cultural implications of the issues in question.

This program is a good fit if you study:

  • Anthropology
  • Critical Race and Ethnic Studies
  • International Relations
  • Political Science
  • Sociology
