Course description

The English-language Master of Science "Geographies of Global Inequalities" delves into global inequalities through a relational lens. This geographical approach examines the links between global dependencies and disruptions. The program's regional focus spans both the Global South and North, recognizing that economic and societal advantages or disadvantages in a globalized world are complex, spatially fragmented, and unevenly distributed, often existing in close proximity. The program's theoretical foundation includes postcolonial, feminist, political-economic, and socio-ecological theories. These are enriched by perspectives such as intersectionality and science and technology studies. These theoretical frameworks provide a social science perspective on key geographical topics like health, mobility, racism, urban research, poverty and inequality, work and labor markets, multispecies relations, livelihood research, global governance, socio-ecological transformation, and gender. Methodologically, the program emphasizes qualitative methods of empirical social research, with a strong focus on ethnographic techniques. Courses also cover research ethics, data management, and the use of software tools, ensuring a comprehensive methodological training. This Master’s program aims to equip students with a deep understanding of global inequalities, fostering an inclusive and insightful academic environment.
