Global Change
The Global Change stream explores claims and realities of economic and cultural globalization.
We explore topics such as:
- the role of emerging technologies in global change
- the effects of neo-liberal globalism on the nation state local spaces, and international governance
- unequal impacts of global change on women, Indigenous peoples, developing countries, and local and global ecosystems
- resistance and accommodation to global forces
