The course aims to deepen students' knowledge in the field of migration theory and transnationalism. The course aims to teach students to conceptualize individual cases, place them in appropriate theoretical frameworks, and develop and discover tools for studying transnationalism. The course takes advantage of the fact that the Faculty of Social Sciences is a truly international faculty with students of many backgrounds who can not only receive the knowledge of their teachers but can also share transnational experiences with each other. Therefore, it combines a lecture and a seminar in which the students create examples of transnationalism and their analysis.

The course combines a lecture and a seminar. The first half of the semester will be devoted to basic theoretical terms and concepts related to transnationalism. The seminar part of the course will be dedicated to the discussion of topics in which the students will be involved in the second half of the semester. The second half of the semester will be devoted to causes chosen by the students themselves. A limited number of students, a maximum of 2-3, will present a transnational case, which other students and the teacher will discuss. For a particular topic presented in 20 minutes, the student will prepare a PowerPoint presentation and a written presentation manuscript in the form of a text of at least 3,600 characters, including spaces and including, references and a bibliography. The PowerPoint presentation and the manuscript will upload to Moodle at least one day in advance. The presented results will be discussed and supplemented by the teacher's comments.

The student will be evaluated based on active participation in lectures and seminars (two absences are allowed) and based on a PowerPoint presentation and written preparation, which he uploads to Moodle. Furthermore, on the literature knowledge, which he will demonstrate during the discussions in the course. The point score will be as follows: Powerpoint presentation and subsequent discussion: 50 points Participation in lectures and seminars 30 points Teaching activity 20 points Resulting rating: 91 – 100 points = A 81 – 90 points = B 71 – 80 points = C 61 – 70 points = D 51 – 60 hobs = E Less than 51 = F Last update: Uherek Zdeněk, doc.
