• Academic title
  MSc Global Movements, Social Justice & Sustainability
• Course description
  MSc: 12 months full-time; 24 months part-time
  
  This programme offers you the chance to examine the social, political and cultural aspects of the global movements that are shaping the contemporary world, and to assess ongoing debates about social justice and sustainability through the analysis of a wide range of ethnographic studies.
  
  When do processes and practices of globalisation, participation and sustainability strengthen injustice? When are they emancipatory? This programme draws on theoretical and ethnographic studies - from social anthropology, sociology and a range of other disciplines - to analyse global processes and global change strategies. It draws on detailed ethnographic studies from both the 'north' and the 'south' to analyse global movements, examining, for example. how and when 'participatory governance' and 'sustainable development' are used to support or to exploit social and ecological systems.
  
  Through developing the hands-on critical skills of participatory, investigative and action research - grounded in the emerging field of global ethnography - you will be encouraged to examine and assess strategies used to resist and redirect those processes of globalisation, sustainable development and participatory governance which have the potential to produce and reproduce inequalities.
