IPUS 295: Globalizing North Carolina, Summer Session II

Transnational flows and global forces over the past 60 years have transformed the once rural North Carolina with its prosperous tobacco, textile, furniture, and emerging military industries. North Carolina is now home to 2nd largest banking center in the US and to two of the nation’s top ten fastest growing urban areas as well as the largest research park in the nation, and the largest military base in the world. This course examines the consequences, often unforeseen, of these globalizing forces on specific communities in North Carolina.

Summer Session 2, 2017 * M-F 9:50 – 11:20 (3 credits) *

IPUS 295 meets the IP and US Diversity GEP.  The course includes 1 to 2 fieldtrips outside of scheduled class times.
