Mondialisations et inegalités
This course is taught in two sections by two different professors.
Inequality:
Current social changes can be analyzed in terms of “new inequalities”. The main objective of this course is to decipher the ideas that inform this new paradigm of inequalities (of place/location, class, position etc.) as well as the forms of inequalities they can be manifested through the different categories.
Excerpts of works both in French and English will be utilized for critical thinking and discussion. Each student will be responsible for a research paper that will allow students to delve deeply into a topic or aspect of a topic relevant to what has already been covered in class discussions.
Poverty and globalization:
The objective of this course is to examine the manner in which contemporary global phenomenon have reconfigured the world economy: be it developing countries, new and old rich countries, or poor countries, the question in each case will be to study what economic asymmetries globalization has or has not reshaped.
