Approved Courses, Autumn 2017
The Approved Courses list for Autumn 2017 has been released!
The Global Studies Major
The Global Studies major emphasizes the interconnected nature of our modern world. It moves from specific sites and objects towards global connections, and students are able to choose their coursework from many different disciplines. Four key tracks structure the curriculum:
- Bodies and Nature, focused on bodies, nature, and ecological relationships
- Knowledge and Practice, focused on the production and circulation of knowledge
- Cultures at Work, focused on the relationship of culture and economics
- Governance and Affiliations, focused on claims to authority in power relationships
