Seven Cheap Things
Section Info:
This seminar is a careful reading of one text, A History of the World in Seven Cheap Things. We will explore cheapness as a concept and a practice and how it is related to the chauvinism and exploitation of today. An organizing question is: what other social relationships hide behind 35-cent chicken nuggets?

Section Title:
Pol of Belong: Nat/Pop in Euro
Section Info:
This course investigates what is at stake in various processes of European inclusion and exclusion (e.g. the EU, Euroscepticism, citizenship, normative understandings of “European-ness,” etc.). A theme throughout this course will be the ideological construction of a European other (an imaged “not-Europe”) and internal and external othering processes. Special emphasis will be given to studying nationalist populism in Europe (in comparison to the United States) and its relation to neoliberal capitalism, religion, nativism, immigration, and globalization.
