This subject explores how identities and cultures are constructed and contested within the shifting domains of transnationalism, constituted by intersections across local, national and global arenas.
It examines some of the ways in which social media and information technologies impact the formation of identities and cultures through the dynamics of globalisation.
It considers the changing narratives of class, gender and ethnic relations and their impact on youth identities.
It shows how global movements of people and capital challenge previously accepted notions of identity and culture, especially traditional belief systems.
It also considers issues of identity politics, interculturalism and social conflict.
Intended learning outcomes
On successful completion of this subject students should be able to:
- Understand how recent changes associated with the global mobility of capital, people, ideas and technologies demand new ways of thinking about issues of identity and culture.
- Evaluate shifts relating to cultural globalization, with an emphasis on the ways in which the changing narratives of class, gender, and ethnic relations are reshaping youth identities and cultures
- Interpret the implications of these global shifts for education, with a particular focus on curriculum and pedagogy.
