TCCS 710 - Globalization and Population Movements

3 Credit(s)

Description:
In this class, we use a transdisciplinary approach to explore theories of globalization and migration and apply them to real world communities, policies, processes, and social movements. We move across the breadth of human history, considered social, economic, and political forces; grapple with explicit and implicit moral beliefs; and consider issues of human rights and social justice applied to globalization. The course includes discussions of gender and migration, race and ethnicity, post/neo-colonialism, politics of migration, global systems of capitalism and interstitial spaces within it, refugees, temporary guest workers and student migrants, forced migration, undocumented migration, and citizenship and statelessness. The course includes in-person and virtual visits with a variety of guest speakers, emphasizing diasporic connections of immigration and community.
