Kommentare/ Inhalte: The objective of this course is to investigate the process of “green washing” of the anti-immigration discourse. In other words, we will analyse how immigration is frames as a source of environmental problems. In the USA this type of green-washing already happened: some associations hide their anti-immigration intentions behind a green approach asserting that “Environmental goals can only be accomplished if(..) immigration is substantially reduced”. During this course, we will discuss the well-known case of USA but we will also investigate how the role of migrants in the environmental discussion changed (if so) during the last decades, including the more recent climate change – migration nexus.
