INGS 328     From Coca-Cola to K-Pop: Global Flows in Ethnographic Perspective  (4)

One of the defining features of life in the 21st century is the speed and intensity with which people, capital, commodities, ideas, and information mov—or flow—across the globe. These global flows however, impact people and communities in profoundly unequal ways. This course explores these uneven impacts from an anthropological perspective, by looking at how people in different parts of the world experience and live with “globalization.” Drawing primarily on ethnographic readings, this class asks: how do global flows shape our daily lives—not only economically and politically, but socially and culturally as well? How do they change both our sense of who we are and our experience of the world?. Prerequisite: One course with attribute G4 including AP or IB credit.
