Anthropology 334 - Gender,Race,and Globalization

Institution:

Dickinson College

Subject:

Description:

This course examines some of the social and cultural effects of economic and political restructuring, otherwise known as "globalization," that have been occurring around the world since at least the 1970s and have accelerated during the past decade. We will focus on the increasing participation of women in the international division of labor, expanding migrations, growing economic and political polarization within and between countries, the racialization of certain populations, commodification and the spread of consumerism, the relationship between the "local" and the "global," and various forms of social resistance. Our explorations will include examination of the historical and theoretical discussions of globalization, gender, and race, and ethnographic examples from various parts of the world, including, but not limited to, parts of Europe, Thailand, Malaysia, Mexico, the United States, and parts of Africa. Prerequisite: at least one course in Anthropology or Women's Studies. Offered every other year.
