Description:

This honors seminar invites students to explore the many dimensions of what is being called "globalization," the increasinginterconnectedness of societies around the world primarily involving economic production and exchange, but extending beyond economics to cultural exchange and politics. The issue of globalization is analyzed from beyond just the anthropological perspective, and incorporates perspectives of history, technology, communication, philosophy, economics, politics, and literature. Its anthropological focus emphasizes the adoption of other societies' cultural patterns, such as music and food, the expansion of supranational loyalties, and the instantaneous nature of world globalization.
