Trade Routes: Pathways Across Borders

Catalog description

Draws from geography, history, sociology, political science, economics, cultural studies, and science and technology studies. The physical pathway that permits goods to move from one geographical domain to another is at the center for understanding global trade. The pathway harnesses distinct activities into a system that allows goods to move between spaces and determines the nature of borders. Understanding this organizational system requires an interdisciplinary approach that permits us to recognize multiple kinds of connectivity across physical, social, and virtual space. Enrollment Restrictions: Enrollment restricted to students with Junior or Senior standing. Satisfies GE area: UD4
