Fulya Pinar

Professor Pinar is great and cares a ton about the subject. The papers are interesting and readings can be too, but you definitely get what you put into this class. You can skip the readings and learn very little or engage with them heavily and learn a great deal as well as have some very interesting in-class discussions or explorations of the topics in essays. Just be prepared to do the readings if you want to learn anything!

Professor Pinar is one of the most understanding, accommodating, but also smart anth professors. The class is very eye-opening. If you're interested in migration policy this class is a must. Mondays we were mainly lectured to with group discussions/pair discussions to the readings. Wednesdays were mainly peer discussion-led groups presenting. Super fun class.

A hard but super interesting and inspiring class! We learned a lot about migration and the nuance and complexity of migration. Pinar is super interesting and we had lots of readings which was the only hard thing.
