Course Catalog Description:
Does globalization produce a more or less just world? How do people and movements advocate for social justice? The global and the local. Gateway course for the Global Studies major.
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.
