If the 20th century was the century of nation states, relatively recent advances in telecommunication, mass transportation, and global flows of capital have altered the social, economic, and political fabric of our societies. Not only has globalization changed the ways we relate to places, but also to each other. While these changes have undoubtedly benefitted some, the distribution of these benefits has been highly unequal. In this course we will explore some of the main dimensions of globalization, including the political economy, labor, migration, and belonging, as well as their intersections with precarity, exclusion, and exploitation.
