Course Description

GS222 Globalization and Cultures in Contemporary Western Societies 0.5

This course examines the theories and practices that help situate the "first world" as a geographical, cultural, economic, and political space. Particular emphasis will be paid to how globalization is connected to the shifts and complexities of cultures and identities in contemporary western societies. In so doing we investigate the idea of the nation state and recognize the heterogeneity of diasporic space.

Prerequisite: GS100; or GS101 and GS102, or with permission of the co-ordinator.
