In this course we will examine a series of urgent issues facing the global community through reading ethnography and studying social theory.

The following issues is a sample of the types of global issues that the course will cover: the environment (i. e., global warming, environmental critiques of capitalism, the struggle for indigenous rights to land, the energy economy), global struggles for rights (for indigenous peoples, women, the LGBTQ community, the global underclass, stateless stateles s peoples), the state system (to include an examination of the nature of the state, authoritarian and leaderless states, democracy in crisis, the warlord state), technological change (social media, AI, cyberwarfare), and violence (weak states, the global arms trade, the nuclear threat).
