How and why did the term "globalization" become commonplace, what it describes. Uses questions of social justice to explore portrayals of globalization in popular media and culture.
Class Description:
This course explores the complexities and contradictions that attend to the phenomenon of globalization, and how globalizing forces affect movements for social justice in various localities. In some respects, the economic interconnectedness and free flow of capital throughout the world has produced grave social inequalities that run counter to concepts of justice and fairness. On the other hand, digital communications have allowed for social justice movements to work together and consolidate their resources more than ever before, making some aspects of globalization crucial components of the defense of human rights. This course will investigate this ambivalent relationship between globalization and social justice by focusing on topics as diverse as sports and global soccer, efforts to reclaim urban spaces from capitalist expansion, the nationalist movement in Catalonia, water shortages in Bolivia, and migrant communities in rural Iowa.

Class Description:
In what sense has our world suddenly become "global"? What was our world before it became "global"? What theories of the world do we explicitly and/or implicitly invoke when we deploy the words "global" and "globalization"? What are the theoretical and conceptual presuppositions that make it possible for us to think in these terms? In this class, we interrogate the words "global" and "globalization" as the latest organizing elements of the varied, still-unfolding processes of modernity. For our purposes, "global studies" is ultimately about understanding the ways in which the living and non-living elements of the world are mapped, partitioned, measured, labeled, categorized, territorialized, and conceptualized at various moments in time. This is a course in learning how to think theoretically, hence the title: "Theoretical Approaches to Global Studies." Why should you feel compelled to take the course? Because, at the end of the day, the course will help you better understand our contemporary human condition, and how you might work to improve it. What sorts of global ethics should we aspire towards? How should we exercise citizenship in a globalizing world? GloS 3101 is required for Global Studies majors and open to all other interested undergraduates who have fulfilled course prerequisites. The course format is lectures complemented by weekly recitation sections. The course is likely to be web-enhanced (URL presently not available).

Geographical distribution of resources affecting development. Location of agriculture, industry, services. Agglomeration of economic activities, urbanization, regional growth. International trade. Changing global development inequalities. Impact on nations, regions, cities.
Class Description:
This course studies the historical and spatial dynamics of the global economy from the vantage point of economic geography. It traces ongoing transformations in the global economic map by exploring how differences in place, space, scale and networks affect the institutional forms, regional patterns, and world dynamics of economic activity. Why do we see the sectoral agglomeration of economic activity (for instance, high-tech in Silicon Valley or finance on Wall Street)? What forces inform Nike's decision to manufacture shoes in Indonesia or GM's decision to assemble cars in Mexico? Why does capital flow to some places and not to others? How does this affect workers and their livelihoods, both within the US and abroad? What are the changing patterns of finance, foreign investment and trade? What are the dynamics of international migration? Why do some policymakers think that international flows of capital should be taxed? How are environmental issues linked to global trade? Why is agroforestry a more efficient form of agriculture in some places than monocrop agriculture? How are new information technologies reshaping the geography of the world economy? These questions of the local, regional and global location of economic activity, the new forms of production, commerce and inequality that accompany economic diversification or concentration in space, and the spatial interconnectedness of resource flows are all aspects of the dynamic and exciting field of economic geography.

Course Catalog Description:
Relation between nation/literature produced within it. How emerging nations enlist literature in claims for nationhood. How institution of literature underpin Empire. How gender, as organizing principle of identity, inflects literary representations of nation.
Class Description:
One of the ways nations constitute themselves is through narratives, including fictional narratives, that shape national consciousness. Nevertheless, the dominant narratives of nation often fit badly with the realities of marginalized people. In this class we look at both hegemonic fictional narratives of nation and at the ways historically marginalized groups including women, ethnic minorities, political dissidents, exiles, and sexual minorities both participate in and disrupt the dominant narratives of nation. The literary texts are all taken from the Latin America, specifically Argentina, Nicaragua, Venezuela, and Uruguay. This regional focus will allow us to locate these texts in a concrete location, fostering a deeper understanding of a specific world region. The course is also designed to familiarize students with the conventions and inner workings of literary texts. The British novelist and essayist Virginia Woolf described fiction as a spider's web, "attached ever so lightly perhaps, but still attached to life at all four corners." If the web is pulled from its moorings it collapses into a sticky mass, yet to look only to the places and ways it attaches to the wall of reality is to miss the complexity of the web itself. This class teaches students to explore and enjoy the intricacies of the web of fiction without losing sight of the structures that hold it up.

Experiences of Muslim women/families from historical/comparative perspective. Gender/family power relations in colonial representations, sexual politics, family, education/health, paid work, human rights, and Islamic feminism. prereq: At least soph; SOC 1001 recommended
Class Description:
This course explores the experiences of Muslim women and Muslim families from a historical and comparative perspective. It aims to expand the discussion on Muslim women's lives and experiences beyond the Middle East to highlight the complex and diverse everyday experiences of women around the world. This wider lens exposes the limitations intrinsic in the stereotypical Western representation of Muslims in general and Muslim women in particular. We will explore the intricate web of gender and family power relations, and how these are contested and negotiated in these societies. Some of the themes the course explores include the debates on Muslim women and colonial representations, sexual politics, family, education and health, women and paid work, gender and human rights, and Islamic feminism debates.

Class Description:
Claims to equality are constitutive of politics today. It is most often in the name of equality that groups struggle against economic and political disparities, or demand various rights. A certain equality is even institutionalized in modern democracies?all citizens are formally equal. And yet, equality is also one of the most difficult concepts of our times.So it is that the question of equality has also occasioned the most intense debates. What is political equality, and can it be sustained by the democratic rights that we exercise as citizens? What is economic equality, and can it be sustained within a capitalist order? How else can we think of equality, if not in these terms? Where does our demand for equality spring from? How can we think of any equality between profoundly different entities?not just apples and oranges but, say, the human and the animal? How are conflicting demands for equality to be reconciled in a way that recognizes, to begin with, the equality of these demands? Given the scope of these questions, this course can do no more than scratch the surface. Indeed, it will not focus on giving any information about a conceptual object called equality. Rather, its focus will be on learning to think critically?learning this is itself one of the most crucial forms of equality, perhaps even the form of equality that, at their best, universities as institutions especially give to us.

Class Description:
The Making of Contemporary Europe is a course about what is probably the most audacious political experiment in a century of audacious experiments: the European Union. After a second catastrophic war a handful of European leaders came together to begin a process of integration that continues to this day. We will examine the origins of the European project, its prehistory, as well as its periodic shifts in size, scope, and shape. We will examine the specific histories of institutional changes, the relationship of national politics to European politics, and the impact of enlargement on the nature and purpose of integration. Students will also examine the question of the European public sphere, and how the EU's multi-lingual nature impacts the prospects for integration. We will also examine the EU's latest crisis and the prospects for a significant change to the EU's structure, given the serious fiscal divide between North and South. Students will come away with a solid grounding in the institutional, historical, and cultural issues that dominate the landscape of Europe.

Course Catalog Description:
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.

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.

Globalization of organizations, political relations, and culture. Dependency, world systems theories. Growth of international nongovernmental organizations, their impact on state policies and civil society. Expansion of international norms. Globalization of popular culture.
Class Description:
From the factories of Shenzhen to the high plateaus of La Paz to the trading floors of New York City, people from around the world are becoming increasingly interdependent. This course offers an overview of the processes that are forcing and encouraging people's lives to intertwine economically, politically, and culturally. We will start with the most basic questions: What is this thing called globalization? Is it at all new? What are the forces behind it? Second, we will explore the idea that this latest era of globalization is marked by dramatic transformations in the ways we work, do politics, play, and communicate. Moreover, we will look into the ideas that capitalism has changed significantly, that the division between rich and poor has intensified, and that the sovereignty of governments and the basic rights of people are being challenged. We will learn about a few key actors, such as the World Bank and the World Trade Organization, and understand their main objectives and effects. We will discuss the world of immigration, of fast-moving finance capital and Hollywood/Bollywood cultural products, and the slower moving domains of everyday life, as they are experienced in Jamaica, the U.S., Mexico, India, Bolivia, Argentina, and South Africa. Along the way, we will look at globalization from below, or social movements working to bring about social change (within and across national boundaries) by contesting the worst effects of economic, political, and cultural globalization. In all, this course will use a number of texts, films, lecture, discussion, and student debates, to help us become fluent in the different scholarly concerns on globalization and its many social forces, connections, and imaginations.

Class Description:
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:
Crime is global--trafficking in drugs, weapons, and people flows across national borders. Laws, however, are not global. They are made by nation-states and are bounded by borders. Furthermore, states, which are supposed to police crime, are sometimes criminal themselves, for example, when then they torture or kill political opponents. Is international law the solution to these problems? In this course, students will consider international legal coordination across states and international laws emanating from the United Nations, such as the Geneva Convention and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. They will focus on how the structure of the global system facilitates and impedes effective global regulation of social problems.The course grade is based on two take-home exams, one paper, and a short documentary project.

Class Description:
This 3-credit seminar will study the histories, philosophies, and activities of human rights activists and organizations. The course examines the theoretical basis of the human rights movement, the principles underlying key organizations in the human rights field as well as their strategies, tactics, and programs. The class provides an opportunity to put in perspective students' previous experiences as interns or staff with non-governmental organizations (NGOs) in the human rights field. The class will use case studies and other participatory methods to understand and to evaluate the work of human rights activists. We will learn about tactical methods including fact-finding and documentation of violations, normative campaigns, the use of social networking, and discuss the effectiveness and consequences of each method. The class will consider critiques of human rights practice including cultural relativsm and the asymmetries of power that affect relationships among human rights advocates. Students will consider the basic organizational structure and fundraising needs of NGOs. Students will design and present a research project based on their selection of in-class topics. Readings include material on the history of NGOs; roots and development of the human rights movement; analysis of key NGOs; advocacy within international institutions; and reports and publications from NGOs working in the field.

Class Description:
Claims to equality are constitutive of politics today. It is most often in the name of equality that groups struggle against economic and political disparities, or demand various rights. A certain equality is even institutionalized in modern democracies?all citizens are formally equal. And yet, equality is also one of the most difficult concepts of our times.So it is that the question of equality has also occasioned the most intense debates. What is political equality, and can it be sustained by the democratic rights that we exercise as citizens? What is economic equality, and can it be sustained within a capitalist order? How else can we think of equality, if not in these terms? Where does our demand for equality spring from? How can we think of any equality between profoundly different entities?not just apples and oranges but, say, the human and the animal? How are conflicting demands for equality to be reconciled in a way that recognizes, to begin with, the equality of these demands? Given the scope of these questions, this course can do no more than scratch the surface. Indeed, it will not focus on giving any information about a conceptual object called equality. Rather, its focus will be on learning to think critically?learning this is itself one of the most crucial forms of equality, perhaps even the form of equality that, at their best, universities as institutions especially give to us.

Class Description:
This graduate seminar is aimed at MA and PhD students interested in research-policy linkages and applied research techniques in the field of human rights. Students will develop skills to be discerning consumers of human rights research and begin to design and conduct their own research on human rights policies, programs, organizations, and problems. The course is: Interdisciplinary: We will draw upon multiple analytic traditions, such as from sociology, political science, public health, policy studies, anthropology, and development studies. Mixed methods: We will cover a range of qualitative and quantitative research techniques, recognizing the unique and complementary strengths of each approach. Globally-focused: We will analyze both domestic and international human rights concerns and the work of key human rights actors including international organizations and non-governmental organizations. Engaged: We will focus on applied research strategies, class exercises will have practical applications, and we will engage directly with human rights actors and organizations.
