I decided to take this course because of my strong interest in learning about people, and the wide range of perspectives a population can have. As a public health major being able to gain further insight on some of the topics this class focuses on would help me later in life, creating health policies and initiatives that can better serve all people.

 My educational aspirations is to go to grad school abroad and focus on either public health or health management. I hope to one day go into health administration and work in a hospital setting.

I would love to learn more about Scandinavian policies towards migrants and refugees, and the discourse surrounding them. While I am studying in Denmark I would love to be able to learn more about these policies and issues that are more specific to this region.

I want to go to law school and am interested in international refugee law.

I hope to learn more about the European Border Crisis.

Career wise, I don't know exactly what I want to do, but I'm hoping to live a life and profession oriented by my values and a commitment to community and justice.

By the end of this course, I'm hoping to have an understanding of the complexities of Danish nationalism and how Danish identity discourse is shifting with the growth of migrant communities.

Education and career-wise, I am currently on the pre-health track and hope to work as a physician and public health research.

By the end of this course, I want to have learned more about influences to European immigration laws and to European media representation of immigrants.

What I want to achieve in my life

Big question! I don't know about a career path, but I want to center community relationships in my life and honor what they call me to do, i.e. act in ethical ways. For the past bit, that's meant moving away from tech, which I worked in before coming to college, and towards work esp. with Asian-American and queer community. I want to keep questioning, stay open to a lot of joy, and live by similar principles as people I admire. Vague? Possibly, but life is big!

I want to go into the hospitality industry and provide wonderful experiences for people to enjoy.

I hope to learn more about the difference between the European border and immigration laws and how it affects everyone.

Ideally, I'd love to be a graphic designer or artist for non-profits working with women and queer folk. However, because I'd also like to make enough to feed myself, I am thinking about either going to law school or becoming a child psychologist (and using art in either one of those professions).

I hope to have a better understanding of how socially ingrained notions of normality impact a country's ability to welcome the 'different.' I also hope to learn and grow in ways I cannot even comprehend yet.

I'm pursuing a degree in Computer Science, which is a subject I am very passionate about. I hope to work in accessibility or for a non-profit and generally avoid some of the toxic work culture prevalent within the tech field. The impact of my future work is very important to me.

Going into this course I am looking forward to learning about different communities and cultures in Denmark, as well as understanding the problems they face.

I decided to take this course because I've heard that Copenhagen is a city filled with people from all over the world, and I wanted to learn about the perspective of living in a foreign country filled with locals and immigrants alike. I hope to learn about the details about a sense of belonging — and just more about human interaction with strangers in general — because I hope to go into the medical field where a pillar of my job is to provide comfort to people I may have just met. By the end of this class, I hope that I have a new perspective on how immigration/migration affects mental health as well as strategies on how to best foster belonging.

I'm not sure what kind of career I want to have, but I know that I love meeting new people and learning about different places around the world, so hopefully I will find a career that allows me to do that.

By the end of this course I hope I will have a much better understanding of the realities that immigrants face in Denmark, as well as the ways in which immigrants have shaped the country.

My career/education goal is to attend medical school and be a doctor. I love helping people and I love kids so I am hoping to go into some sort of pediatric specialty.

I hope that this class allows me to become more familiar with Denmark, I don't know much about Danish politics or migration policies.

Im not entirely sure of what I would like to do with my sociology major. I hope to work for an NGO doing some type of social work at some point in my life, and possibly work at a think tank or become a professor. I hope that whatever I do puts me in a position to have some type of positive impact on the communities and the people around me.

My learning objectives for this semester are to (as I said) put this course in conversation with my core course, and to overall become more aware of the more marginalized experiences of people who live in Denmark. A specific topic that I would like to learn more about or at least create context for is the "parallel societies" legislation, and how that has impacted immigrant's ability to form communities here.

I hope to go into research in creating and/or testing the efficacy of drugs for treating neurological disorders. I am also interested in pursuing a PhD in neuropharmacology after college. As a scientist, it is important to be able to understand the social context behind the research you are conducting which is why I think it is important to engage in sociology courses.

By the end of this course, I hope to learn more about the migrant/minority experience in Europe and how it has changed over time. I also hope to familiarize myself with Danish policies regarding the topic because I have little to no knowledge about Danish politics.

I am pursuing a career in medicine which is why this course in particular will help widen my perspective on how politics play a role in healthcare and can explain the lack of care that migrants and minorities receive in some places around the world.

My learning objectives are to gain a deeper understanding of the migrant population within Denmark and how it to compares to other countries, specifically the United States.

In my broader life I want to graduate college, go to PA school, and live in small town as a doctor far away from the real world. Before PA school I would like to travel more and enjoy my life outside of class. Pretty much I just want to be happy in whatever I am doing.

At the end of this course, I would like to be able to use my knowledge about danish society and identity to better understand and appreciate my time here.

My mission is to better understand the experience of someone living somewhere where almost no one looks like them. So often Americans are told that they would be living better lives if they moved to Europe but that’s not always the case for POC. I want to better understand this perspective that is often neglected. Getting a deeper understanding of this is also one of my main learning objectives.

Career-wise, I am hoping to pursue Event Planning and be able to own my own Special Events business. Currently, I am looking forward to my upcoming summer internship as an Event Specialist and can't wait to see where that takes me! However, in general I am looking to live each day to the fullest by spending time with friends and family and meeting new people along the way.

After this course is done, I am hoping that I can use my new knowledge to educate the people that I know back at home about the different types of minority groups, disparities, and reasons for migration within Denmark so that they too can better understand the lifestyle and culture here!

My goal is to go to law school and perhaps one day focus on immigration or refugee law.

This semester I am hoping to learn more about the Danish immigration system and to learn a little more about the diversity of Danish society as a whole.

I'm not yet sure what I want to do with my education or life, I think teaching at some point could be valuable to help create a more socially aware culture in spaces I exist in, though I am not sure if teaching is my end goal!

I hope to come away from this class with a greater awareness and new perspectives on this topic!

I am not entirely sure exactly what I want to do with my career, but I know that I want to help people, and so far, volunteering with Soccer Without Borders has given me some direction in how I would like to do so.

By the end of this course, I am hoping to understand the nuances of belonging in Denmark, and compare it to what I have learned in the U.S.

In regards to my education and career interests, I hope to go to law school and become a lawyer. Although I am unsure as to what type of law I want to practice, I know that a very important part of law is seeing all types of people in an equal manner, which is a core part of this course

By the end of this course, I hope to become knowledgeable in the different types of perspectives throughout all the different groups of people. I feel as if I am very uneducated in this topic and hope to come out of this course feeling educated in how minorities and immigrants adapt to their new counties.

My mission is to broaden my knowledge of how different societies approach migrant issues and apply these insights to contribute meaningfully to discussions and initiatives addressing the challenges faced by migrants and minorities, both in Europe and globally.

By the end of this course, I aspire to gain a comprehensive understanding of the policies, social dynamics, and cultural factors needed to advocate for positive change in the world.

As for my career goals, I am currently deciding between furthering my education through grad school or entering the work force.

I hope to broaden my understanding of the mechanisms that foster social inclusivity, cultural integration, and the well-being of migrants in Denmark by the end of this course.

In my life I hope first of all to be happy! I want to travel as much as I can and hopefully have a career that allows me to travel/is incorporated in the position. Although I am finance and advertising, I am much more interested in the advertising part (I would get very bored working on Excel for hours everyday).

My learning objectives in this course I want to be more aware and educated on different groups and Denmark. I would also like to know more about the ways that these groups interact in Danish culture. Super excited to start the semester!
