| Description: | Our program was revised in 2018 to reflect changing global issues and how they are analysed. Building on our 20 plus years of experience, the new program brings both sharper focus to the program as well as offering students more choice. Designed for students with broadly defined social science backgrounds, the program is structured so that students are introduced to key concepts, theoretical analysis and practice in Global Development and in Global Environment as well as taking a course in Research Methods for Global Studies. Students may choose from a wide range of electives and the program draws on courses from 11 different departments; an interdisciplinarian’s dream. Many courses offer critical perspectives. Analyzing Global Development as processes, the program allows students to choose from courses focusing on the Global South, on the High North, on Indigenous issues, and on global-local dynamics. The connections between development and environment are explored and addressed. The vibrant Global Fridays Speakers Series brings global issues and speakers regularly to your classroom. |
