IDS 316: GLOBALIZATION

This interdisciplinary course is designed to employ a variety of approaches to study in-depth the theme of “Globalization”. Just as other periods have been characterized as the Age of Enlightenment, the Age of Science, the Age of Industrialization, or the Age of Anxiety, this period has become known as the Age of Globalization. For better or worse, religious figures and ideologies have a prominent role in globalization. We will need to explore some of the connections between religious beliefs and practices and globalization. Finally, since globalization affects us, we need to understand some of the local aspects of globalization.
