What does globalisation mean at local levels? In the face of so much 'progress', why are many people still so poor and others so rich? This unit explores how people's lives have been transformed by colonialism, economic development and globalisation. Focusing particularly on Australia and our region, it examines various social science perspectives on inequality, migration, urbanisation, work, modernisation, globalisation, culture, communication and the environment. -- Course Website
