This structured interdisciplinary doctoral minor is offered in conjunction with the Interdisciplinary Center for the Study of Global Change (ICGC). By focusing on the social bases of change in the global south, the program engages a wide range of academic disciplines, including the social sciences, humanities, and biological sciences. The minor focuses on three areas: 1) the relationships between macroscopic processes of political, economic, and social change, and the microscopic conditions of lived experience in the global south; 2) specifically interdisciplinary perspectives (encompassing the social sciences, the biological sciences, and the humanities) on this general thematic concern; and 3) preparation of doctoral students for research on the global south.
