    Our world is increasingly in motion. The unprecedented pace, scale, and complexity of movement on our planet—of humans, plants, animals, cultural messages and artefacts, resources, pathogens, and more—present a diverse suite of challenges and opportunities that play out across local, regional, national, and international scales. Only through an interdisciplinary, multi-species, and systems-level perspective can we understand and anticipate the causes and consequences of migrations for people and the planet. As part of the Global Grand Challenge, this class will be built around weekly public talks that will, along with assigned readings, form the basis of our inquiry and discussion over the course of the semester.

  • Instruction Mode: In Person
    This course will introduce students to the continuing and contentious debates around the importance, meaning and achievement of sexual and reproductive health (SRH). Unlike health in general, discussions of SRH quickly slide into arguments about definitions of SRH and its legitimacy as a ‘human right.’ The relatively recent additional notion of reproductive ‘justice’ reemphasizes that sex and reproduction are about more than biological procreation, that they demand greater attention to questions of equity and fairness. The course will review and discuss these topics at the domestic, international, and transnational levels.
