Contents

This is a mandatory course offered in the second semester for 3rd and 4th year students in the Degree in Social and Cultural Anthropology, dedicated to offering training on migrations (human mobility) and intercultural relations. Basic concepts, theories, data and trends on international migrations and intercultural relations related to migration will be addressed.


The course is structured in two parts: the first one for the explanation of theoretical contents, and the second for group presentations in class. The first part, of explanation of theoretical contents, is divided into two blocks in turn: 1) International migrations, and 2) Intercultural relations:


Migrations:

  • Fundamental concepts about anthropology of migrations.
  • Theories and typologies about migrations.
  • Global context, historical stages, and trends of international migrations.
  • Mobility and control. Forced migration: clandestine migrations and refugees.
  • Socio-demographic panorama of international migrations


Intercultural relations:

  • Fundamental concepts about culture and diversity. Intersectionality: origin, class and gender.
  • Theories and models of diversity management in immigration contexts. Integration, assimilation, multiculturalism and interculturalism.
  • Keys and trends in management of immigration and diversity.
  • "Second generations". Ancestry and classification. Multiple identities / mixedness.
  • Decolonialism and social movements: racism, antiracism, and ethnic revival.

The course is structured in two parts: the first one for the explanation of theoretical contents by the teacher, and the second for group oral presentations in class by students.

The fundamental material of the course is, in addition to the theoretical classes, a selected and thematically organized bibliography, a part of which is compulsory (fundamental) reading for the follow-up and evaluation of the course, and the other complementary part.



Annotation: within the schedule set by the centre or degree programme, 15 minutes of one class will be reserved for students to evaluate their lecturers and their courses or modules through questionnaires.

Assessment

Continuous assessment activities

Title Weight Hours ECTS Learning outcomes
Final individual Exam 50% 0 0 CM24, CM25, KM25, KM26, KM28, SM33, SM35, SM36
Attendance / Practicum 15% 0 0 CM24, CM25, KM25, KM26, KM28, SM33, SM35, SM36

CONTINUOUS EVALUATION:


This course is designed to be evaluated in-person and with continuous evaluation.


The continuous evaluation is based on the following criteria and percentage distribution:


  • Attendance / Practicum: 15% of the final grade.
  • Oral group presentation: 35% of the final grade.
  • Final exam: 50% of the final grade.


Given the interlocking of all the assessment tests, to be evaluated by continuous evaluation, it is necessary to perform and score on all evaluation criteria (attendance, oral presentation and exam). If not, the student will be listed as "Not evaluable".

All activities presented will be evaluated, and those that are not presented will be recorded as "Not presented."

To participate in the re-evaluation process, the student must have obtained a final average grade of 3.5.

Students are responsible for staying informed through the Virtual Campus, regarding content, deliveries, evaluation, notices and any changes that may occur in the calendar.


1) Attendance / Practicum:


Class attendance is essential for continuous assessment.

Group oral presentations and Guest seminars are mandatory and will be considered as Classroom Practices, with mandatory attendance, and their content will be subject to examination questions.

Non-attendance without documentary justification will not be counted as attendance.

In cases of attendance at the total number of classes per less than 80%, a compensatory work will be required; and in cases where attendance is less than 80% for Classroom Practices, a reduction in the final qualification of 0.5 points will be applied.

Punctuality is also required. The professor may establish a time after which students may no longer attend class.

Attendance sheets will be distributed before the start of class and cannot be signed once the class has begun.


2) Group oral presentation:


The oral presentation will be done in groups of approximately 2-3 people (the limit will be adjusted at the beginning of the course), and will consist of an oral presentation in class, which must also be delivered as a PPT in PDF (through the enabled space of the Virtual Campus) the same day.

At least two weeks before the start of the presentations, the working groups must have given the teacher (through the enabled space of the Virtual Campus) a brief topic proposal to prepare the work, following the form available in the Virtual Campus. This proposal must contain the basic aspects of the work / presentation: name and surname of the group members, topic (any topic within the areas covered in the course), justification of its relevance, preliminary structure / index of contents, and preliminary bibliography.

The oral presentations’ schedule will be posted on the Virtual Campus space. Once scheduled, no changes to the oral presentation dates will be accepted without a good reason.

After each presentation, and following a guide with the evaluation criteria, the teacher will give an evaluative feedback to the group, and will give rise to the open discussion with the whole class group, who will be able to ask questions to the group. Finally, the teacher will evaluate the presentation made by the group.


The group’s oral presentation will be evaluated on the basis of the following criteria, all with the same weight:

  • Organization and structure, level of writing and expression
  • Volume, diversity and adequacy of the sources consulted
  • Ability to identify key aspects, critical analysis, and clarity in arguments
  • Ability to dialogue and debate using the knowledge acquired


About the use of AI in the preparation of the oral presentation in class and the PDF delivered: the use of AI technologies is not allowed, other htan in bibliographic search. Any submitted work that contains content generated using AI will be considered academic dishonesty; the corresponding grade will be awarded a zero, without the possibility of reassessment. In cases of greater infringement, more serious action may be taken.


The grade obtained from the group presentation will be the same for all its components.


3) Individual final exam:


The final exam will be individual and without notes or computer (no use of AI is allowed). The exam will be based on the overallcontents of the course, and may be a test-type exam,or with a combination of definitions of key course concepts, thematic development questions, or commentary based on a paragraph / reading text. mandatory. Both the class notes, the compulsoryandcomplementary bibliography, and the extra materials available on the Virtual Campus will be used for its preparation.

The date of the final exam will be announced during the course.


Erasmus and exchange students: Erasmus and exchange students who request to advance an exam must present a document from their home university justifying their request.


Grade review: at the time each assessment activity is carried out, when applicable, the teaching staff will inform students, through the Virtual Campus, of the review procedure and date.


SINGLE EVALUATION:*


*NOTICE IN ADVANCE: Due to the methodology of the course, continuous assessment is especially suitable, and the single-assessment option is discouraged.

To choose the option of single evaluation, the student must communicate it with a form within the oficial period.

Single assessment activities will consist of the following criteria, where more stringency will be applied than in continuous assessment:


1) Individual oral presentation: 25%

With the same characteristics as in continuous assessment, adapted to the individual nature of the test, and to be carried out on the day of the final exam.

2) Individual written work: 25%

To be delivered in paper and in PDF on the day of the final exam, where the theme of the oral presentation will be further developed.

Format: Numbered Table of Contents, Introduction, Descriptive Sections, Conclusions, Bibliography and Annexx. Max. 25 pages (not counting the Annexes), margins 2.5 Times New Roman, single spacing.

3) Individual final exam: 50%

With similiar characteristics and in the same period as the continuous evaluation exam.


In the case of the single evaluation, the test will consist of a single exam that will account for 100% of the final grade.


RE-EVALUATION

In order to access the re-evaluation, it is necessary to have completed the continuous or single evaluation and have failed with an average grade of at least 3.5.

The re-evaluation will not take into account the partial results of the continuous evaluation tests (neither the oral presentation, nor the exam nor the attendance can be recovered separately), and will consist of a single exam that will account for 100% of the final grade.


Warning from UAB on irregularities / plagiarism / fraud:

In the event of a student committing any irregularity that may lead to a significant variation in the grade awarded to an assessment activity, the student will be given a zero for this activity, regardless of any disciplinary process that may take place. In the event of several irregularities in assessment activities of the same subject, the student will be given a zero as the final grade for this subject.
