Human migration—often the result of push and pull factors—sometimes has dramatic outcomes for both those leaving their homelands and the host countries. Using a variety of case studies, learners consider those issues. Then, by completing writing exercises and structured discussions, scholars delve into the opportunities and challenges of human migration.
