This course explores how globalization and deglobalization [slowbalization] influence human living and working conditions worldwide, as well as the capacity of human beings to change those conditions. Through an anthropological lens, it examines concepts, methods, and data from a broad range of disciplines. The course adopts an interdisciplinary perspective-ethnographic, historical and geographic--on issues of vital concern for understanding local problems in a global context. The course probes specific contemporary cross-cutting issues such as global climate change; global poverty; global health; global migration; global trade and debt; technology; indigenous peoples; human rights; and alternative civilizational-global designs.
