Our world views define and shape the world 'as we know it'. This subject introduces different ways of seeing the world, charting how resulting world views shape what we know, and how we relate to it. Assumptions about globalisation produce specific forms of knowledge and data, often framed as 'global indicators'. The resulting global knowledges are produced and situated, whether in dominant or marginalised contexts and traditions. The subject draws on accounts of dominant, alternate and parallel globalities, using both Southern and Northern theory, to analyse, compare, critique and evaluate these perspectives.

Assessment: Group presentation (30 per cent), blog (20 per cent), essay (50 per cent).
