Seminars introduce students to aspects of globalization through a case study of a particular location abroad. On campus, students explore historical and contemporary aspects of the location abroad to prepare for their field visit. Abroad, students engage with local resources and people to better understand how the local site contributes to and is impacted by relevant global processes under focus. Course activities will include a field site visit abroad, discussions, lectures, short essays, student presentation, and final projects. Topics vary according to site location and instructor expertise.

May be repeated in separate terms to a maximum of 6 hours.

Section Title:
South Africa Cape Town
Section Info:
Students will map conflicts between global property developers and local subaltern residents over the social and spatial impacts of urban development projects re-segregating Cape Town. We locate these urban conflicts within Cape Town’s historical patterns of development as a European colonial port, an apartheid industrial city and a node in a worldwide network of global cities. We focus on whether and how these global projects reproduce rather than reduce local forms of racial inequalities or apartheid whilst advocating liberal policies of multicultural inclusion and individual rights. Class will meet in Room 19 in Temple Buell Hall (TBH) Registration is restricted until students have been accepted into the program by the Study Abroad Office. Program Dates Abroad: May 17 - May 30, 2020. Application Deadline: February 15, 2020.
