Part-time Lecturer Globalization and Global Change
Tufts University
The Department of Sociology at Tufts University is seeking a part-time Lecturer to teach Globalization and Social Change (Sociology 050) in the Spring 2021 semester, which begins February 1, 2021. Course topics could explore the following questions: What are the different theories of globalization and how can we review the progress and the social problems associated with its development. Is the interconnected world becoming more homogenous, heterogeneous, or some complex combination of each? Are there new patterns of inequality? Is there such a thing as "world culture"? If so, is it a form of "Americanization" or a more democratic synthesis of elements from different parts of the world? What is the impact of globalization on gender and family structure? Other possible issues include the role of multinational business, the movement of peoples, cultural flows (Hollywood versus "Bollywood"), the intersection of the global and the local, the "underside" of globalization (such as drug trafficking, the illicit trade in arms, and the reemergence of forms of indentured labor), new forms of global media, the role of NGOs, and the structure of global cities. And finally, what are the different models of reform of the global system and the source of "political will" to enact those reforms? These topics are suggestions rather than absolute requirements; we expect the instructor to have their own points of emphasis. Class meets twice a week REMOTELY, Tuesdays and Thursdays 6:00 PM to 7:15 PM.
