This course explores critically informed perspectives on the broad topic of migration and labor with a special focus on the Middle East. It presents an overview of the context of migration in the region and how it's governed in relation to the ‘West.’ A case study in Turkey illustrates different ways of theorizing refugee labor, from a utilitarian approach to a critical framework.
