Code: SOES170

Credits: 15

Semester: Semester 2

This module is for students interested in discussing critical approaches to global inequality, environmental harm, and social injustice. Students will gain understanding of the multiple and contested ways in which global challenges, crises, and development are defined and responded to. This will include critical attention to historical influences, root causes, structural forces, and contemporary forms of uneven geographical development. Students will also gain insight into how oppressed communities respond to discrimination and exploitation through resistance, collective action, and building alternatives.
