Globalization

Catalog description

Globalization is profoundly reforming social structures and transforming peoples’ lives but at the same time is a contested concept. This course focuses on theories and processes of globalization and its impacts through an interdisciplinary approach including sociological, political, economic, historical, anthropological, environmental and geographic perspectives. Students explore local and transnational effects of globalization on cultural models about labor, sex, gender, religion, race and social class to better contextualize these transformations.
