Centre for Global Studies

In Huron’s Centre for Global Studies students confront problems of global inequalities, explore forms of globalization at human scales, and analyse the concepts, ideas, and cultural work ordering of life in this world.  Students learn to critically locate themselves in global power relations and practical ways in which they may take responsibility for their positions of privilege.

Through interdisciplinary, critical, and collaborative studies, Centre for Global Studies courses and academic programs engage global problems in relation to community–level experiences.  They support students in specifically feminist, anti–racist, decolonial, and anti–oppressive programs of research.  And students train in methods of social research and analysis, applied skills, and theoretical criticism preparing them for success in a wide variety of graduate programs and professional schools.

Students in the Centre for Global Studies may pursue degree modules in the following six programs of study:

Individual program fact sheets can be found on each program page for more information and insight from alumni.

Globalization Studies

Globalization Studies modules engage students in critical analysis of the dominant forces of globalization—mobility, integration and change—from the vantage point of human life. In the core courses in the Globalization Studies streams, students learn to distinguish prevailing theories about how globalization works, learn about the social, environmental and political entailments of capitalism, and consider alternative social, political and economic formations. Supplementary courses explore the emergence of resistance movements, localized alternatives to globalization, the impacts of mass production and consumption, the place of community in a globalized world, and more.

Global Development Studies

The degree modules offered in Global Development Studies examine ways in which our world is structured and functions around profound inequalities, particularly in terms of poverty. This stream of studies focuses on how deep material inequalities result in power imbalances and the formation of oppressive social, political, and economic ideas and practices presented as “development.” In learning how to critically analyse these inequalities and to conduct socially responsible research in community contexts, students in these modules will learn to collaborate effectively with grassroots efforts to challenge and overcome these injustices.

Global Health Studies

The degree modules offered in Global Health Studies integrate studies in community health promotion within contexts of global development and phenomena of globalization.  This program gives focus to how the work of community health promotion is caught within contexts of global scale inequalities, particularly in terms of poverty, and global scale social interrelations that situate problems of community health within relations of power related to capitalism, resource extraction, global food economies, and impacts of global racism, sexism, coloniality, labour exploitation, and environmental degradation.  Students gain the benefit of collaborative educational experience, bringing studies from the Health Sciences, Geography, and Sociology together with courses and programming offered by the Centre for Global Studies.

Global Culture Studies

The degree modules offered in Global Culture Studies examine how knowledge of the world and understandings of one another are shaped by cultures of representation and ideological formations.  Students gain deep training in interpreting and analysing discursive formations and critically examining cultural productions of power relations in the world.   They gain practice in analysing such marginalising and oppressive principles as patriarchy, citizenship, territory, civilization, sovereignty, and the global.  Students learn to identify and effectively confront racializing and racist constructions in global theories, the privileges of masculinity, ideologies of development, and human/nature dichotomies.  Through such work, they gain skills and understanding necessary to become responsible cultural agents in the world.

Global Gender Studies

The degree modules offered in Global Gender Studies focus on gender– and sex–based inequalities and formations in the world from specifically feminist and queer orientations in research, analysis, and theory.  Combining the strengths and supports for these studies in existing Centre for Global Studies courses with a range of courses offered by Western University’s Dept. of Gender, Sexuality, and Women’s Studies, this program of study offers remarkably rich opportunities to understand how global development, globalization, and cultural constructs shape and order individual’s lives and the dynamics of societies in the world on registers of gender, sex, and sexual orientation.  Students gain especially strong study of problems in the mobilising of feminist theory, gender analysis, and studies in sexuality on global scales.

Global Rights Studies

The degree modules offered in Global Rights Studies provide students with unique, responsible, and timely approaches to the critical study and support of persons’ and peoples’ rights within a global context.  They are prepared in recognition of the fact that most universalist principles, laws, and approaches to protect rights, paradoxically and typically, are exclusionary in character.  These proposed modules resist the study of rights in a contained or determined sense, as is the case when conceived in the form of “human rights.”  From this position, these modules offer students opportunities to study how the rights of persons, particularly those of individuals and groups who experience marginalisation or exclusion in rights protection and respect for their rights claims, face contested politics of claiming and asserting autonomy, rights, and self–determination on world–wide bases.  It is a program of study into the inevitable struggle for the right to rights.

You will receive:

  • A community engaged, experiential learning opportunity working with a local farm.

You will get to:

  • Spend two weeks at New Moon Community Homestead learning about community economies for regenerative agriculture.

CGS 3202G - Community-Based Seminar in Global Studies - Thinking in Public/Thinking in the Public Interest

Dr. Wendy Russell
Wednesdays, 6:30 – 9:30pm.
January – April, 2024
Location: HC–227

This winter term’s rendition of CGS 3202G is an essay course directed to understanding activism that opens spaces of autonomy to perform forms of public life beyond control of the state and capitalism. Students will host guests speaking to a variety of projects that assemble tools of living, thinking and enacting a public life that exiles regimes of oppression and prefigures unexpected possibilities. Student essays will address the ways that public life is reimagined in a case study of their choosing.

CGS Courses

Below, you will find lists of the CGS courses offered last year and this current year, as well as lists of anticipated CGS course offerings for the next few years. As you will see, many of the core CGS courses are offered annually, but most of our problem-oriented and issues-related courses are offered on a rotation basis, every two years.

The Centre for Global Studies ensures that all courses that students will require in any of the degree modules offered in our six academic programs can be accessed within every two-year cycle. And students should plan their course selections each year with that in mind.

CGS courses offer many types of interdisciplinary and critically-oriented forms of study into how our lives are situated in the world and how are lives are fundamentally interrelated with the experiences, concerns, and interests of others near and far. Variously, our courses range from engagements with practical problems of global inequalities and development, the study of social demands of globalised labour, exchange, and migration, and the material conditions of living in the world, through to world-wide politics of decoloniality, gender, displacement, agriculture, and the ideologies and languages through which we represent the world to ourselves. Through courses engaged with these problems and themes, as well as core courses focused on rigorous studies into research ethics, collaborative, participatory, and anti-oppressive methodologies and critical theory, students will be substantially prepared for graduate studies across the social sciences and humanities and professional engagements via law, business, public administration, and social advocacy.
