Comprehensive "travel" through international migration issues. Related concepts are very well explained and facilitate understanding of several aspects and hidden interrelations.

Overall, the course is interesting and I liked it. But, unfortunately, the lectures are in French with English subtitles, which somewhat reduces the perception of the material.
