Section Title:
Global/Transnational Sociology
Section Info:
Global and Transnational Sociology. Global and transnational sociology is concerned with the processes and structures that transcend the national level and are understood as, or claim to be, relevant to the entire world. Global and transnational processes can be economic, political, or cultural. They can operate at a variety of levels and institutional settings such as countries, cities, and neighborhoods. Because social space can no longer be entirely defined in terms of political or geographic boundaries, or mapped in terms of territorial places, distances or borders, such processes and structures have been described as 'deterritorial'. The purpose of this course is to provide a comprehensive overview of the primary areas of scholarship concerned with the causes and consequences of globalization and transnationalization. This course is reserved for Sociology Graduate Students until open registration.

Section Title:
Critical Border Studies
Section Info:
Topic: "Critical Border Studies." Meets with LLS 596, AFRO 597 and ANTH 515. Be it in Europe, the Americas, the United States, or elsewhere in the globe, there has been belligerent calls to tighten international borders, and better regulate, who can settle, who can migrate, who must leave, and who should be held. Detention, policing, and the surveillance of immigrants and refugees has augmented exponentially. Keeping the pressing presence of the present central, the course moves through theoretical shifts underscoring the frictions among questions of movement, borders, migrations, and refugee studies with respect to the debates on abolition, biopolitics, settler colonialism, and other currents.
