Handbook

Globalisation is a process by which distant regions are increasingly linked, shaping our lives, and impacting on the fate of nations. We often think of globalisation primarily in terms of industry, trade and technology, but in this introductory level subject you will use the UN Sustainable Development Goals to take a broader view.  We will explore some of the world's most pressing current problems, including but not limited to poverty and conflict, environmental degradation, gender equity, racism and access to health and well being. Case studies from a range of contexts, including Latin America, Africa, Asia, and Indigenous communities in Australia and the Pacific, will be examined.
