FIRST SEMESTER 2009-2010MTP01
MTP03 Introducing
Theologies of
Migration
Emmanuel de Guzman, PhD The course focuses on methodological approaches in doing a theology of migration. It begins with anthropological-sociological perspectives to understanding the migrants’ experiences, and then deals with samples of attempts at doing systematic theologies from the migrants’ contexts. Students will participate in the construction of theologies for and with the migrants.
MTP04
Management of Pastoral Programs in
Migration
Edwin Corros, cs
MTP12 MIGRATION AND JUSTICE Graziano Battistella, cs The course examines some of the ethical questions which arise from migration and to see what contribution the Christian social ethics tradition offers to migration management. In particular, the category of justice will be utilized as a promising development in social ethics. The course will focus, among others, on the perennial tension between the prerogative of the State to manage migration and the aspiration to migrate as an expression of the right to a more humane life. This tension is studied in the light of international law and the position of some ethical traditions. The development in the concept of justice, in particular distributive justice, is then considered, as well as the contribution of the concept of justice in the Christian tradition, to offer some elements for a more humane management of migration.
MTP13 PASTORAL CARE OF MIGRANTS Nilo Tanalega, sj The course focuses on the psycho-social interventions and pastoral care of migrant workers and their families. The targeted population will be sorted out together with their all important issues for well-being, even as they are physically and emotionally separated from their own family members. The available interventions will be critiqued, and the class will explore other possible and effective service and care of them, both in their country of origin and job destinations. Derivation for personal strategies and plans of assistance in psychological, social and spiritual fields will be derived and evaluated at the end of the course.
