In 1985, the South Commission reported that two-thirds of the world's people lived in distress. To rectify this, the Commission proposed a laundry list of reforms. At the same time, political and social movements in what had been the Third World grew apace. These movements and this report inaugurate the creation of the "Global South", which is both a place and a project. This course will investigate the contours of the Global South, the conferences held to alleviate its many problems (Beijing/Women, Johannesburg/Environment, Durban/Race), and the people who live in the "South". |

People have always traveled for many reasons. Over the last century, however, tourism has exploded into a multibillion-dollar global industry and has become a key component of international development strategies. In this course, we will use case studies from around the world to examine tourism from multiple perspectives. We will investigate questions such as: how is tourism connected to previous human movements (colonialism, scientific expeditions, diasporas, etc.)? Why do people engage in tourism today? How does identity impact travel destination choices and what are the power relations implied in these decisions? What are the economic, social, and ecological impacts of tourism in host communities? And, how do host communities respond to the influx of tourists? |

This course will introduce students to the ways in which diasporic Black subjects understand, interpret, and navigate gender and sexuality in what Saidiya Hartman calls the "afterlife of slavery." A core component of this course is arriving at a definition of Blackness that is diasporic, transnational, and always already inflected by gendered and sexual markers. Taking the transnationalism of Black feminist thinkers like M.Jacqui Alexander, Dora Santana, Matt Richardson, and Audre Lorde as a starting point, we will examine how Blackness reconfigures western liberal ideas of masculinity, femininity, and sexuality and, in so doing, shapes diasporic Black subjects' relationships to empire and citizenship. |

Hip-Hop is both music and culture with a global imprint that dates back to the 1980s. This course is a reading and writing intensive course that critically examines hip-hop cultural and political formations in Africa and the African Diaspora. We begin with canonical texts that contributed to the growth of an emergent interdisciplinary field called, 'Hip-Hop Studies' in order to familiarize ourselves with a set of core concepts, discourses and frameworks that will help us assess hip-hop's global emergence. What does the globalization of African-American music and culture tell us about the power and impact of neoliberalism on post-colonial identities, culture and nation-states in the
non-Western world? It is a question that will shape our discussions on race, youth, masculinity, and nationalism in contemporary urban societies. |

Provides an experiential-based introduction to the practical challenges of
refugee and immigrant resettlement and integration and to the development
of effective policies and implementation strategies to address them. Students
will be placed with a community-based organization working with
immigrants and refugees 10-12 hours a week and attend (weekly or
biweekly) seminar class meetings to integrate their onsite learning
experience and responsibilities with discussions of assigned readings and
relevant concepts in participatory action research and diaspora studies. Seminar meetings will be organized around enrolled students' existing class schedules. |

The course analyzes the domestic and global politics of how countries in the Global South are dealing/preparing to deal with climate change and its effects. We will discuss the particular challenges that climate change presents to countries across the Global South characterized by weaker institutions, lower state capacity, and scarce economic resources. Using countries and subnational units in the Global South as case studies, we will discuss issues: how interest groups shape mitigation and adaptation strategies, why citizens support climate denialists, and how different political regimes (autocracies vs. democracies) approach climate change. We will also study the global and domestic aspects of environmental injustices created by climate change and the world's current mitigation and adaptation strategies. |

"Cannibal" was one of the first words added to the European vocabulary after Christopher Columbus visited the "West Indies." Since then, the cannibal has been at the center of Latin American cultural and political projects, from early (and not so early) colonial anxieties about a continent populated by godless human-eating savages, to more recent poetic manifestos celebrating Latin America's cultural cannibalism as its main strength and path of resistance against colonial domination. After a brief introduction to the topic of cannibalism, this course explores the place of cannibalism in European fantasies about Amerindians, the role of cannibalism in Indigenous socialities and philosophies, and the ways in which recent artistic and political vanguard movements have reclaimed cannibalism as a cultural project. |

Natural protected areas are a central component of global climate change mitigation strategies, such as the 30x30 framework that seeks to designate 30% of the planet's surface as protected areas by 2030. This class offers a critical examination of the globalization of environmental conservation by centering the perspectives and experiences of local communities. We will study how environmental conservation has been, and often continues to be, intimately connected with issues of colonialism, land dispossession, Indigenous sovereignty, green capitalism, and militarization. As we study these complicated histories and experiences of parks and Peoples, we will bring into consideration alternative visions of how to care for land and nature with an emphasis on perspectives from Indigenous Peoples and the Peoples of the Global South. |

The course examines the processes of political, economic and social change that took place in Latin America in the XX and XIX Century. Topics include: the rise of populism and import-substituting industrialization, revolutions and revolutionary movements, the causes and consequences of military rule, the politics of economic reform, democratic transitions, the commodity boom, and the left turn. For each topic we will review classic political science theories and critically evaluate their applicability to Latin American countries. We will also discuss the lessons that can be drawn from Latin American cases for the study of these topics in the rest of the world. |
