Dr. Ajay Gandhi, Assistant Professor

‘The Global Challenges courses provide students with a conceptual vocabulary for understanding wide ranging processes. For example, in the Diversity Global Challenge, the focus is on the social, political, and moral aspects of human difference. We use the concepts and methods of anthropology, history, sociology, journalism and literature to analyze, compare and interpret the range of possible social organisations and expressions. We put small-scale communities as well as centralised nations and hierarchical empires within the same frame, analysing how European, African, Asian and American societies produce variation.’
