Global Equality

Education facts

Code: 2KG047

Drawing on critical geographical perspectives and the concepts of space, place, culture, power, and difference, the purpose of the course is to draw attention to global inequalities. We raise the issue of scale in attempting to formulate a coherent conceptual framework for integrating power relations across the globe, from the human body up to global processes. The importance and the intersection of social categories such as gender, class and ethnicity is also integrated into the course. These analytical tools provide a starting point for thinking about the possibilities for social change. Course themes may include, for instance, colonialism and post-colonialism, globalization and economic relations, public/urban spaces, and international migration.
