Kurz se zaměřuje na migraci ve střední a východní Evropě (SVE) a představuje tento region jako klíčové místo současných procesů migrace a vysídlení. V rámci kurzu můžou studenti zkoumat, jak události posledních let – od rozšíření EU a pracovní mobility až po nucené přesuny obyvatel po ruské invazi na Ukrajinu – postavily SVE do centra evropské migrační politiky. Na příkladu tohoto regionu se studenti kriticky vrátí k základním pojmům migračních studií, jako jsou pracovní migrace, dočasnost, „zaslouženost“, postavení uprchlíka či vysídlení. Pozornost bude věnována nejen geopolitickým napětím v Evropě, ale také postkoloniálním dědictvím, nerovnostem a každodenním podobám mobility z genderové a intersekcionální perspektivy. Přehodnocení SVE prizmatem migrace zároveň otevírá nové způsoby, jak rozumět jak samotnému regionu, tak i teorii migrace obecně.
Kurz nevyžaduje žádné předchozí znalosti. Staví na zkušenostech a pohledech studentů a klade důraz na aktivní zapojení a diskusi. Povinná četba tvoří základ pro společné debaty, jejichž cílem je kriticky promýšlet zavedené pojmy a teorie. Účast studentů bude proto významnou součástí závěrečného hodnocení. Na konci kurzu studenti odevzdají esej reflektující hlavní témata a diskuse. Během semestru budou mít také možnost představit předběžné osnovy seminárních prací a získat k nim průběžnou zpětnou vazbu. Kurz je určen pouze pro studenty magisterských programů.

The aim of this course is to re-centre migration studies by foregrounding Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) as a critical site of mobility and displacement, while paying attention to postcolonial legacies and inequalities, geopolitical tensions, as well as everyday practices of mobility through gender and intersectional lenses. By engaging with both theoretical debates and empirical case studies, the course seeks to challenge Western-centric perspectives in migration research and to highlight how the CEE region reshapes core concepts such as labour migration, temporariness, refugeehood, deservingness, and displacement. In addition, the course aims to strengthen key academic skills, such as critical thinking, close reading of complex texts, and analytical writing. Students will also gain experience in presenting their own arguments and research in a clear and structured way, both in written assignments and oral presentations. By the end of the course, students will be equipped with conceptual and analytical tools to rethink both the CEE region and migration theory more broadly. Poslední úprava: Bartůšek Jaroslav, Bc.

Class participation and engagement with mandatory readings (30%) Students are encouraged to actively participate in class discussions and exercises to successfully complete the course. As the course invites critical assessment and engagement with core concepts and theories, class participation and interaction are essential to achieving this goal. Please remember that the classroom is a space for you to express yourselves in a polite and respectful manner. Students are expected to read the mandatory texts to participate in class discussions, which will be provided in Moodle. In addition to the assigned readings, several recommended materials will be offered each week. Reading the recommended texts is not required. Class participation will be graded based on your ability to demonstrate an understanding of the readings and critical thinking skills.
Three short reflection papers (20%) Students are expected to write three short reflection papers (250-300 words each) based on the mandatory readings. You may choose which readings to reflect on, depending on your interests. The papers should engage with the main arguments of the weekly reading, while also drawing on your own theoretical and/or empirical background knowledge. Please upload your papers to Moodle by 17.00 on the day before the class.
Presentation of the term paper (25%) - last two weeks of classes Students are expected to prepare a 10-minute presentation of their term papers, followed by a Q&A session. You do not have to have your paper finished; however, the more work you have done and can present in class, the more detailed feedback you will receive, which can help you revise and finish your paper. The presentation should include the research question(s) to be explored in the paper, a brief overview of the relevant literature, and your main argument(s). Any digital presentation tool can be used for this assignment.
Term paper (25%) Students will write a term paper of 2,000-2,500 words, excluding references. Please consult with me about your paper at least once during the term. Papers will have to rely to some extent on the literature assigned to the course. Additional references can be used from the recommended readings and beyond. The deadline for submitting the paper will be announced in due course during the term. The term papers should be uploaded to Moodle.
Classification Grading is based on the Dean's Measure Directive SO 002 17/2023.

This course combines interactive discussions and guided reflections to create an engaged and critical learning environment. Each session will begin with an overview of the week’s key concepts, followed by a group discussion of the assigned readings. To encourage active learning, students will be invited to bring their reflection papers into conversation with one another, using them as a starting point for debate and collective analysis. Class time will also include small-group activities, concept-mapping, and case-study discussions, designed to connect theoretical debates with empirical realities of migration in Central and Eastern Europe. Students will be encouraged to draw on their own disciplinary backgrounds and perspectives, making the classroom a space of collaborative knowledge production. In the final weeks, student presentations of their term papers will serve both as an opportunity to receive constructive peer feedback and as a forum for synthesising the concepts explored throughout the course. Use of generative AI tools: The use and citation of generative AI tools (such as ChatGPT or MS Copilot) in seminar papers and other coursework must comply with the decrees of the IMS Director No. 7/2023 and 9/2023. Generative AI tools may be used unless explicitly prohibited by the instructor. However, they may not be used to generate substantial sections of the text or replace the student’s own intellectual contribution. The student remains fully responsible for any content generated with assistance of AI tools. Presenting AI-generated content, whether verbatim, rephrased, or only slightly modified, as one's own work constitutes plagiarism. Every submitted paper must include a transparent statement specifying which generative AI tools were used, in which stage of the work they were employed, and how they were used, or confirming that no generative AI tools were used. If this statement is missing or incomplete, the instructor is not permitted to accept the paper for evaluation. Unless the instructor explicitly prohibits the use of generative AI tools, the decision to use or not to use them rests fully with the student. The student has the right to request that the instructor does not use AI assistance for evaluating their work.
