Description

SSC 350 GLOBAL STUDIES - Immigration, Transnationalism & Global Studies is dedicated to understanding and promoting the role of human rights through an interdisciplinary education of contemporary issues in an increasingly globalized world. This course seeks to journey through a theoretical as well as applied understanding of both the positive and negative implications of globalization. We will study current issues of the gendered, racialized, and economically stratified effects of globalization, and political as well as grassroots responses. The course will seek to understand struggles and revolutions in the new global order vis-à-vis a critical exploration of human rights and hegemony. Finally, this course will consider various strategies for social transformation and forms of resistance. Prerequisite: ENG 102 "C-"or better, SSC 150
