The Globalisation and Development Initiative
We live in an increasingly interconnected world giving rise to new dynamics of inclusion and exclusion, cultural configurations, hybrid identities, transnational social and political formations, and processes of economic structuring and restructuring that link disparate areas of the globe.
The Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences is bringing such processes and social formations more to the fore in its teaching and research. In September 2011, the master's programme Globalisation and Development Studies will start; the Faculty has hired two professors on the topic to further augment the already highly internationally oriented members of faculty; and has received various prestigious research grants on themes of globalisation and development.
