(same as PEA_ST 2293, GEOG 2293). This course examines the forces of globalization that are transforming our world, and explores the various responses — psychological, social and political — that people have been making over the past fiJy years. Part I examines globalization as an economic and geographical process, generating huge social consequences, with rapid growth, population movements, political change and a vast gap between global wealth and poverty. Part II focuses on the ways in which individuals are now seeking to find themselves in this globalizing world. Emphasis will be placed on the ways in which national iden]ty, faith, gender and sexuality are emerging as key loci around which contemporary people (especially young people) are trying to forge new social identities for themselves. The course will conclude by examining the recently emerging (and highly contested) concept of ‘global citizenship’. Graded on A-F basis only.
