ANTH 29904 - Migration, Globalization, and Transnationa

Course Credit: 1
MIGRATION, GLOBALIZATION, & TRANSNATIONALISM This course examines how meaning is made, and changes, through circulation as gestures, objects, people and ideas move across boundaries. The ways different communities interpret ideas, objects, and practices vary, and understanding these differences are key to understanding how social systems and power systems are created and reproduced. After introducing core theories of globalization and transnationalism, our course readings focus on a variety of contexts where bodies, objects or ideas cross borders and boundaries: migration for labor or citizenship, conversion and religious diffusion, transnational NGOs and development, international environmental movements, and the circulation of media, images, and transnational art exhibitions.
