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
