Colloquium: HC 407:
At Home in the World: The Politics of Global Citizenship
Oregon State University, Political Science, Honors College
|
Multiple crises are challenging every single country on the planet and with it the global order. Most recently, both Climate Change and the Coronavirus pandemic have shown that the global and the local need to be considered together, and that after years of an increased focus on the national level, a more global perspective is needed. We are also seeing the very concepts of democracy and democratic citizenship and participation under attack. As a consequence, this requires every person on the planet to see themselves as citizens of a world that needs cooperation rather than division.
Throughout the course, we will explore key concepts of global cultural studies and political theory such as cosmopolitanism, post-colonialism, mobility, migration, and human rights. In their own research, students will be able to apply the theoretical perspectives introduced in the readings to practical problems in international politics and policy.
