WGSL 20017 - Globalization and Gender

Globalization has been the subject of intense debate within both academic and journalistic spheres. These debates have questioned whether globalization ‘works for the greater good or not.’ In this course we will examine globalization critically by looking at some of the academic debates. We will examine the claim that globalization has heralded the end of the nation-state, review the implications of globalization on gender and sexuality, and consider the formation of a ‘global middle class.’
