Course Description
This course examines the spatial relations (politics, social relations, ecosystems) that shape market exchange and the functioning of economies. We will explore attempts to create markets out of social and environmental 'things' that resist commodification from carbon to care as well as the connections between markets and other aspects of life.
Learning Outcomes
- Identify relationships between economic, social, and environmental systems.
- Apply interdisciplinary insights to the study of economic activity and market exchange.
- Analyze the connection between market exchange and broader sociospatial structures.
- Evaluate and critique the relevance of market-based solutions to social and environmental problems.
- Present complex ideas in written form.
