INGS4003: Global Studies Seminar

2025 unit information

The unit will equip students with the required analytical and pragmatical skills to study the multiple forces that have shaped our world. It will focus on specific debates and methodological examples, both from established and more recent scholarship on international and global affairs, that will serve as a foundation for research purposes. Students will be guided to frame and develop projects that challenge more conventional local and national points of view and deploy transnational and global frameworks capable of explaining the more complex and pressing problems of our globalised world.
