How and why did the term "gloalization" become commonplace, what it describes. Uses questions of social justice to explore portrayals of globalization in popular media and culture.
Class Description:
What do we mean by social justice? Human rights? This course explores how these complex concepts are understood, in what ways they get enacted or abused, what institutions are tasked with overseeing global standards of human rights, and under what conditions rights and justices break down or change meaning. As an introductory course, students will have an opportunity to hear from a number of faculty from within and outside of Global Studies as to how they understand and use, or critique the utilization of, these concepts in their work.

Contemporary condition of global connectedness. Ways our habits, tastes, and experiences involve a stream of encounters with the global. Terrains of interconnection, including tourism, music, the Internet, and mass culture.
Class Description:
This course is a small, upper-level seminar that begins with a simple enough question: how do we think of ourselves as inhabiting a 'globe,' as experiencing something 'global'? It is safe to say that a century ago, the average person was much less aware that they inhabited a ball whose surface was covered with an unthinkable amount of both human and non-human diversity. Today, by contrast, every publication seems to proclaim it; we are incessantly reminded of globalization, even as there is no consensus as to what this process really is. Not paying attention to globalization is tantamount to being left behind by the wave of supposedly global advance. But what is really involved with living lives in which we are present to the world in ever new ways? The course is based on one main assumption: that 'living in the global' presents problems of understanding, problems that have no easy answers, or perhaps no answers at all. Therefore the course has one main goal: to explore the nature of our current understanding of being both a witness to the global, of being a producer of knowledge about the global, and of experiencing the global in both mundane and profound ways. A central feature of the course is that it gives you the space to reflect on your own education. There is no bounded body of knowledge that I am teaching you; there is no content that I will test you on. The only goal is to end the class a different person than when you started it. This 'becoming a different person' is in one sense obvious; time passes and we can't help but to change as things happen to us. But the kind of change we will discuss is different; it comes from cultivating a more observant, more curious, more inquisitive, and more sensitive orientation to one's world. There is no textbook for this, no foolproof series of steps that will bring this about. It is about adding a new capacity to the resources that one brings to life. We will examine topics that include the collapsing of time and space, religious framings of human problems, cosmopolitan understanding, and social and political activism.

Rise of East Asian Economies 1930-2012.
Class Description:
With a third of global Gross Domestic Production, and the world's fastest growing economies, East Asia is arguable the most vital economic region today. In the 1950s, internal transformations set the economies of this region on a new path. Turning on state guidance, they abandoned import substitution and sought to move up the manufacturing chain through export-led development. The results were historically unprecedented rates of growth. This course examines how this was achieved and what it means for us today. We look to social and political actions to understand these economic outcomes. We look at Japan from the 1930s on; South Korea and Taiwan from their time as Japanese colonies to the present; and we look at China since 1978. Topics covered will include the legacy of colonial past, problems of late development, post-war development strategies, statism, the rise of finance, the emergence of regional manufacturing networks, regional labor markets, import substitution, export-led growth, political economy of the NICS. We will also examine framing global developments and shocks from Bretton-Woods to the 1973 oil shock, to Plaza Accord (1985) and Reverse Plaza (1995), to the 1997 Asia financial crisis and the 2008 financial meltdown.

Origins, dynamics, consequences of social movements. Challenges facing movement organizations. Relationship between movements/political institutions. Role of movements in bringing about social change. Theoretical issues, case studies.
Class Description:
Focusing on the origins, dynamics, and consequences of social movements, this course explores debates about why and how movements arise and take shape, the dilemmas and challenges for making a movement organization and keeping it going, the relationship between social movements and established political parties and institutions, the transition from movement to non-governmental organization (NGO) or other formalized association, and the role of social movements and protest in bringing about change. The course is organized around general theoretical issues concerning why people join movements, why they leave or remain in movements, how movements are organized, the strategies and tactics they use, and their long- term and short-run impact. To illustrate these theoretical concepts, we will read a number of articles about social movements in one region of the world: East Asia (Japan, China, South Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong and Singapore). This region is of great economic importance but does not have the presence or at least historical depth of the liberal democratic state compared the US and Western Europe, the usual sites for cases of social movement study. Studying social movements in this relatively un-analyzed context will help clarify many existing theories and suggest directions for new theories and concept.

Course Catalog Description:
Comparative analysis/explanation of trends in fertility, mortality, internal and international migration in different parts of the world; world population problems; population policies; theories of population growth; impact of population growth on food supply and the environment.
Class Description:
The aim of this course is to provide students with a multi-disciplinary understanding of and appreciation for human population phenomena and problems in different parts of the world and at different geographic scales--from the local to the global. This involves an investigation of the different components of population change - fertility, mortality and migration of human populations - and an engagement with different, often competing, explanations of these population phenomena that have been offered by social scientists. One of the major learning objectives is to create an awareness that in order to understand and explain population phenomena and problems in different places and countries of the world we have to become knowledgeable about the economic, political, social, cultural and environmental context within which these take place and the importance of the nature of interactions between different parts of the world. Throughout the course, particular emphasis is placed on understanding and critically reflecting on a) contemporary population problems at the global, national and local scale, including the world population explosion, both dramatic decline and persistence of high levels of fertility in parts of the developing world, record-low fertility and population aging in highly industrialized countries, the HIV-AIDS epidemic and major health problems, environmental disasters and population health, increasing levels of international migration, refugee crises, massive rural to urban migrations in the less developed world; b) policies adopted to address these problems such as family planning policies to reduce fertility levels and immigration policies; and c) the gender dimension of contemporary population problems and policies. In addition, students will learn about basic sources, measures, and methods of representation used in the study of human population phenomena, and gain basic skills and experience in data analysis, interpretation, and writing research reports.

Class Description:
This course provides an overview of the impact of the global economy on domestic politics, with a particular focus on the US. The global economy impacts all forms of politics, not just those we traditionally think of as foreign policy. For example, US labor markets are highly dependent on cheap immigrant labor, the housing market is (or was?) financed by cheap foreign capital, and Walmart is dependent on cheap foreign resources to achieve those everyday low prices. Both the 2008 and 2012 general elections focused heavily on economic issues (the effects of stimulus on the economy, the appropriateness of auto and bank bailouts, the impact of government healthcare regulations on unemployment, etc.), thus complicated economic issues had major electoral consequences. This course will help you understand how the ever more complex global market impacts politics from the international to the local level. You will, I hope, become educated consumers of economic news, and be able to link it clearly to your own political preferences and those of other citizens in the US and abroad.

Class Description:
Nationalism has been one of the most significant ideologies influencing global politics during the past two centuries. The different colors on the map designate political units that bear the name of a nation. Today nationalism is increasingly challenged by global and local pressures and in Europe by supranational integration. However, nation remains an important political category, and without an understanding of nationalism, it would be impossible to analyze many contemporary political processes. The course offers an in-depth presentation of the main research traditions and approaches in the study of nationalism and shows how they can be applied in concrete case studies. We will cover a wide area both in terms of research traditions and geographical coverage. The aim of the course is to help students understand and analyze how nationalism affects international politics as well as everyday life of people in different corners of the globe. The course is divided into two parts. Lectures in the first part in introduce the main theoretical traditions in the study of nationalism. The first part will end with mid-term exam. The second part consists of student presentations on nationalisms in different parts of the world and during different historical eras. Students are expected to write a research paper on the topic of their choosing and present their case to other students.

Class Description:
How do economic and social arrangements generate marginalized populations that are considered "surplus"? What is distinctive about "surplus populations" in the present global age? Have certain segments of humanity--remaindered lives, as it were--become "disposable" within the existing order of things? In what ways does capitalism's drive for productivity and profit contribute to the rise of superfluous populations? How do states "manage" surplus populations? What kinds of political and ethical questions does the existence of "surplus humanity" force us to confront? Our course will address these urgent issues and others. Classes will be a combination of lectures, discussions, debates, and audio-visual clips. Some books will have to be purchased. Other readings and assignments will be posted on Moodle. There will be no exams; instead participants will be expected to: a) attend class regularly and participate in class discussions (10%), b) post weekly annotations on assigned readings (25%); c) work cooperatively in groups of two to three on a high quality end-of-semester research presentation on a contemporary event, problem or phenomenon with the instructor's prior approval (25%); d) write a 10-page research essay on a topic relevant to the course with the instructor's prior approval (40%).

Changing gender norms in Latin America as compared with lives of women/men of diverse classes/ethnic groups. How women responded to their position in society, on continuum from accommodation to resistance.
Class Description:
The history of women in Latin America offers many surprises. In 1620, when swashbuckling soldier Francisco de Loyola was arrested in Peru, s/he came out as Catalina de Erauso, a runaway from a Spanish convent. Almost 300 years later, Angel/a Jimenez similarly donned men's clothing to fight in the Mexican revolution. Other Latin American women embraced their identity as mothers, but then took to the streets to protest military dictatorships. This course examines changing gender norms in Latin America, from Aztec times to the present, as compared to the lives of real women and men of diverse classes and ethnic groups: nuns and witches, slaves and factory workers, feminists and socialists. In addition to historical articles, we will read literature, memoirs, and first-person testimonials. This course fulfills the historical perspectives and global perspectives requirements.

Class Description:
Beginning with a survey of Palestine in the nineteenth century, this course examines the origins of Zionism and Arab Nationalism, Arab-Jewish conflict in Palestine, the development of Jewish and Arab national cultures in the British Mandate, the formation of the Israeli nation after 1948, the Arab-Israeli wars, and the development of the Palestinian movement. Particular attention will be paid to the diversity of Israeli and Palestinian society and culture, and the relations between the diverse communities in Israel/Palestine in the 20th century. As one of the most controversial subjects of the modern world, students will confront many contested accounts and interpretations of history that often serve the political aims of one of the many sides in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Yet in understanding these opposing viewpoints and competing versions of history, students will be better equipped to analyze why the conflict in Israel/Palestine has remained so difficult to resolve.

India under British hegemony in 1914 through Mahatma Gandhi/nationalist movement. World War II. British departure, creation of India/Pakistan. Nehru. Indira, Rajiv Gandhi.
Class Description:
At the beginning of the 20th century, India was a British colony; now, in the second decade of the 21st century, it is widely regarded a rising economic and political power. This has been a tumultuous period, marked amongst other things by: the largest and most powerful nonviolent movement anywhere in the world, which under the leadership of Gandhi led to India's independence; the bloody partition of the subcontinent into India and Pakistan; the consolidation of a parliamentary system that has seen India emerge as the world's largest democracy; transformations of caste that, while they have not dislodged the upper castes, have seen the increasing assertion of power by the lower castes, especially the former untouchables; the emergence of new forms of Hindu and Muslim identity, and relatedly the increasing power of the BJP, the Hindu nationalist party; the rise of India as an economic power is likely to see it soon become the seventh richest nation in terms of private wealth, even as close to a quarter of the population continues to suffer from severe poverty. This course will track the processes that have led to the making of contemporary India by paying special attention to 20th century Indian civic life and nationalism. Specifically, it will explore how Indian national and political identities have been constantly roiled by the mobilizations of both marginal groups (lower castes, women, peasants, and Muslims) seeking equality, and how the Indian state, Indian nationalism and even everyday life has been shaped by these mobilizations. Throughout, the course will stress the broader implications of these social processes--the way that these processes illuminate the workings of civic life and national identities not just in India, but elsewhere too. Through the course, students will hopefully become familiar with various debates and issues in contemporary India. We will start every class with a 10-15 minute discussion session devoted to student reports on and analysis of Indian websites devoted to contemporary politics, society, economics and culture. (You will be expected to spend some time before every class visiting one or more from the list of websites I will provide) The rest of the class will be devoted to discussion and lecture of assigned readings, which will include the writings both of those actively involved in the social transformations being studies, and the writings of scholars and intellectuals now reflecting on these changes.

This course examines the history of the Maghrib (Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, Libya, and the disputed territories of the Western Sahara), from the time of Ottoman expansion and the Moroccan dynasties (Sa`dian and `Alawid) in the 16th and 17th centuries to the end of the 20th century. The Maghrib was at the crossroads of the Mediterranean, Middle Eastern and Sub-Saharan African worlds. We focus on the encounter of Islamic cultures and societies of the Maghrib with Africa and Europe, European colonial rule in the 19th and 20th centuries, nationalism, revolution, and independence in the post-colonial period in the latter half of the 20th century. We conclude with an examination of the challenges facing Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, and Libya in recent decades; issues that have come to the forefront of debates about the "Arab Spring": economic development, women's rights and equality, authoritarianism and democracy, political Islam, and the struggle for Amazigh (Berber) culture and identity.

Societal causes/cures of ecological problems such as global warming, species extinction, and resource exhaustion.
Class Description:
Over the past 150 years, human society's effect on its local and global environment has increased dramatically. Nowadays, those environmental harms are more and more coming back to harm humans as well as other species. The biggest example of this negative feedback is global climate change. If humanity continues to pour greenhouse gasses like carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, it will get hit with intensifying disasters. According to James Hansen, these could eventually even wipe out the human species. This course explores why this situation has come about and what we can do about it. Three factors: growth of population, growth capacity to buy more stuff, and the technology to make lots of stuff--all these require energy produced by burning fossil fuels that emits carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. We need to understand why we as a group, despite available information, have let this problem get so bad. Only then can we overcome this inertia and plot an attainable course toward sustainable world.

This course introduces students to the theoretical and historical foundations of environmental racism and environmental inequality. We will examine and interrogate both the social scientific evidence concerning this phenomenon and the efforts by governments, residents, workers, and activists to combat it. We will consider the social forces that create environmental inequalities, so that we may understand their causes and consequences. We will also consider ideas and practices that may lead to 1) a more equitable social distribution of the costs and benefits of markets and 2) more ecologically sustainable forms of production. Students will be expected to master several social scientific theories and concepts related to the subject matter. In particular, we pay close attention to the ways in which the concept of race intersects with gender, class, citizenship, and nation in order to better understand how systems of power and inequality are constructed, reinforced, and challenged.

Class Description:
The setting for this course is the mounting effort on the part of states and a variety of social forces to roll back the historic gains of the world-wide democratic movement--from anti-immigrant campaigns (in both fascist and non-fascist clothing) that would limit citizenship rights to efforts that undermine civil liberties in the guise of combatting terrorisim. This takes place in a larger context in which increasing numbers of citizens feel disempowered and alienated from the state. As democracy and popular participation are central to citizenship the course traces the origins of the democratic process with particular emphasis on how the disenfranchised fought to become included. Both implicitly and explicitly it seeks to understand how that occured in order to see if there are lessons of the past that that might have appllicability for the defense and extension of democratic rights today. To understand it was the disenfranchised who empowered themselves is in itself empowering. An underlying assumption of the course is that the inclusion of previously disenfranchised layers of society into the category of citizens is due to social struggles or the threat of such--an assumption to be examined in the course.
