3 - 4 credits · Undergraduate credit

This course is a focused and in-depth investigation of global phenomena, with attention to human rights, human security (civil conflict, economic development, social welfare, and health care), and sustainable economic and ecological systems. Readings rely on multiple methods and disciplinary approaches. In the process of studying these global phenomena, students discuss the strengths of specific methods and disciplinary approaches in improving their understanding of issues and problems that cut across nation-state boundaries.
