1) To learn the objective facts related to the contemporary history of international migration in Europe, and in particular in Belgium (socio-economic, demographic data)

2) To appropriate the theoretical tools specific to the field of study: analysis models of intercultural relations and migration phenomena, vocabulary associated with the different paradigms (assimilation, integration, citizenship, interculturalism, universalism/multiculturalism, internal/external interethnic border, racialisation, majorities/minorities, ethno-cultural awareness, intersectionality, gender of globalisation, etc.).

3) To develop a capacity for critical reading, for deconstructing media-political categories (ideological process of labelling and stigmatisation)

(3) Controversies / perspectives
Reflections on the tension between the "immigration - political / media concern " and "immigration-object of study" of social sciences;
Interest in political news topics: Diversity of national policies for managing migration flows (quota system, points policy, "chosen" immigration, demographic necessity to re-open borders...).
For example, suggested enlightenment through the analysis of the de facto correlation between neoliberalism and illegal immigration;
(F. Brown, 2006)
Significance of the analysis of social interrelationships: impossibility to separate unequal relations between men and women from other dominations - class / race.
For example, proposed approach to the globalisation phenomenon as it is built on and reinforces the gendered power relations (immigration and care);
(J. Falquet, Hirate H. et al, 2010)
Another example, proposed analysis of African-American feminist movements ("Black feminism") born from a self-differentiation from American feminism criticised for its "white solipsism." (E. Dorlin, 2008)
Interest for the issue of intercultural relations within social intervention practices.
For example, proposal to focus on the role of interculturalism within the aid relationship between social workers and youth born of 2nd/3rd generation of Moroccan migrants in Brussels. (U. Manço, 2012; A. Manço)
