Semester: 2
Department: ANTHROPOLOGY

Overview Overview
 

In this final-semester compulsory module, we will explore how anthropology and anthropologists explore contemporary processes of accelerated change and uneven global interconnectedness. Unlike most disciplines that focus on the macrolevel of globalization, anthropology centres on globalization’s situated nature and the lived experiences of diverse peoples who find themselves at the intersections of global developments. Focusing on these articulations of the global and the local, the module opens with three class sessions dedicated to sketching out conceptual and theoretical approaches and debates concerning contemporary global change . These will help us explore concrete thematic areas of anthropological research, such as: identity and citizenship in transnational fields; mobilities and migration; borders, security and militarism; culture and media; global economics and trade; environment and global health; cultural and political transformations, or ethical challenges of globalisation. The module places emphasis on students' active participation in classes.
