SOC 347 - Global Cap Neo-Colonial Inequalities 4 credit(s) This course explores how global dimensions of capitalism intersect with local cultural identities and practices. Students will learn how transnational markets, global lending institutions, and transnational governments both shape and are shaped by questions of national identity, gender norms, racial categories, environmental policies and sexual practices. This course introduces students to perspectives on the meaning and scope of “globalization” from early industrialization to the current post-industrial economy. We will explore the typography of economic inequality on the global scale and examine specific examples of how it is maintained and resisted. The course includes post-colonial critiques that draw attention to how race, nationalism, gender and sexuality are central to the process of constructing, maintaining and resisting imperial domination. Core Requirement(s): Counts toward core requirements: International Perspectives and Social Systems and Human Behavior. Prerequisite(s): SOC 101, SOC 102, SOC 110 , SOC 120 , SOC 130 , or SOC 150 .
