“…The term "migrant" comprises a wide range of people, including those who are forced into exile, and this connects to the idea that people migrate voluntarily or involuntarily for socio-economic and political reasons (Bauman 1996;Kempf 2006;Batista-Pinto Wiese 2010). Some people migrate voluntarily-these are referred to as "Tourists" in Bauman's (1996) terms.…”

This paper explores the concept of migration, and its causes and effects, with a focus on international migration. Various journal articles, reports, and policy documents are reviewed to address the controversies concerning the concept and key issues of migration. The paper indicates that migration is not only a contested concept, but migration research has resulted in different outcomes. It is mainly affected by personal, socio-economic, and political factors associated with the origin and host countries. Similarly, scholars have been asking the question, “who is a migrant?” for decades without a definite answer. It is also important to consider “what would happen after migrants obtain host country citizenship”: would they continue to be migrants, the host countries’ citizens, or both? This paper contributes to advancing our knowledge and broadening our understanding of the concept of migration and key issues associated with it. It also serves as a base for further discussion.

“…In general, migration is an outcome of different global phenomena such as socioeconomic and political factors. People migrate leaving their homeland for different reasons, forced or voluntarily (Kempf, 2006). On the other hand, socio-economic and political situations do not only influence the decision of people to migrate, but they also affect their further connection and contribution to the country of origin (Brǎdǎţan & Kulcsár, 2014).…”

“…People flee their countries to save their life and avoid political oppression and hard economic condition which usually are prevalent during times of war and political turmoil (Akokpari, 2000). Therefore, migration, as an outcome of different global phenomena, such as socio-cultural, political and economic factors, could be forced or voluntarily (Bauman, 1996;Kempf, 2006;Mallett & Hagen-Zanker, 2018). In line with this, Bauman (1996) stated that forced migrants or the 'vagabonds' are compelled to migrate due to unbearably inhospitable circumstances.…”

As classrooms become increasingly multicultural, authentic teaching and learning is essential to avoid the creation of a negative image of the 'other'. Using a case study from a secondary school, an interpretive analysis was used to gain insight into how students made sense of their experiences and the significance of art as a platform to negotiate stigmas and stereotypes in class and school. The project generated space and context for students with different backgrounds to tell their stories and hear each other. Students revealed that language and dialects are also fundamental components of culture that should be supported by the education system. Art can be an especially effective catalyst for developing a critical awareness of issues of race, immigration, difference, and privilege. It is a platform for the negotiation and construction of meaning and could contribute towards removing the historic inequalities and injustices created by a stratified society.
