The study of population development, migration and mobility is central to meet many of the challenges faced by current societies. The course embarks from a framework on sustainable development, and introduced key concepts and ideas for understanding population, migration and mobility at different spatial and temporal scales. The course is structured around key competences that relate to sustainable development; more specifically, the UN Sustainable Development Goals, norm critique and forward-looking perspectives. Within these themes, theoretical and empirical examples of population development, migration and mobility are discussed. During the course, the student will work with a specific case, which will be related to practical outcomes, policy and sustainable development.
