To understand the contemporary challenges that exist in our world, we must understand the geographies, politics, histories, and relations that have shaped our environment. In this course, you will investigate how democracies operate, how our world is shaped by dominant ideas of capitalism and colonialism, and how historical events affect current affairs.
