  • AMST 336: Globalization :"America" in the Modern World

    1.00 Credits
    Trinity College

    This course is an unabashed and hopeful "history of the present." By situating a history of "America" within the larger world, we will collectively explore a global vision for the future. Throughout modern history, arguments for global advance have been premised on the proliferation, and equal distribution, of freedoms. In this class, through a series of pairings and conversations that cut across the world, we will rethink the very notion of global freedom. Here, property and piracy, free labor and freedom from labor, nation states and colonies, prosperity and underdevelopment, the political and the personal all coexist as the collective building blocks for competing, yet connected visions of global social relations. From Democratic Nationalism to Soviet Internationalism to Bandung Humanism, globalization has expressed itself in various guises. Let's look at them all. This class is an invitation to come and explore something more, to reclaim the possibilities for competing visions of worldwide freedom in the present 1.00 units, Lecture
