GSMS 3010 - The Global in Situ: Perspectives from the Middle East and South Asia
The Middle East and South Asia as locations within the “Global South.” This class will de-center Euro-American spaces and intellectual histories, and work toward a grounded re-centering of attention on place-particular histories and intellectual contributions. We will also examine what globalization, as concept and as a set of semi-coherent processes, has meant in particular local and regional spaces in the Middle East and South Asia.
