Teaching will be through a combination of lectures and seminars, involving small and large group discussion, debate and student led actitivies. Some sessions will include a short lecture, followed by a seminar. Other sessions, where more appropriate for the topic, the class will run as a 1.5 hour workshop with no lecture. The lectures are designed to set out the broad parameters of the topic covered in that session. Seminars will take the form of discussion and debate in both small groups and plenary, as well as presentations. We will discuss a wide variety of case studies related to the particular topic.
By the end of the course, a successful student should be able to:
1. Show advanced knowledge of issues and concepts of morality, ethics and engagement in the global economy;
2. Show a grasp of advanced theories of moral economy, fair trade, ethical consumption and corporate citizenship;
3. Demonstrate an understanding of forms that ethics and engagement take in the context of the global economy through empirical literature;
4. Demonstrate critical capacities in thinking about morality, ethics and engagement in the global economy.
5. Students will develop the following skills: communication; independent research; and critical thinking.
