A) Students are expected to introduce one of the seminars. The written introduction (max. 4 pages double space) is due two days before the class. This assignment should ideally include a succinct summary of the main thesis of the text as well as critical comments and questions about the readings (20%). B) Each student (or group of students depending on the size of the class) will chose and work on an anthropological analysis of a policy in the area of refugees or migrants and present the preliminary findings in class. This exercise will establish the core of the term paper (20%).Term paper (60%) Approximately 4000 words paper is due by the end of the term. This term paper will be based on the particular policy student have chosen to study in relation to refugees and migrants.

Structure: Seminars will begin with a short lecture by the instructor and will be followed by a presentation/introduction of that week’s topic, in which student(s) responsible for that week will present the readings structured by critical comments and questions (depending on the number of students registered to the course). This introduction will be followed by a discussion. For each session there will be two or three key (required) texts. Those preparing the introduction of the topic could also include the optional (suggested) readings into their presentation, in addition to the key texts. It is inevitable to prepare in advance for the seminars, as there is a strong emphasis on class participationLearning Outcomes: At the end of the course, the students are expected to: Have an understanding of the emergence of studying policies as a field in anthropology, its development and different perspectives on critical policy studies; understand how policies travel and their transformations; the connections between policies, power and governmentality; and the methodological challenges anthropology of policy poses for ethnographic research.
