Art/Form
Teilnehmende This course is ideal for students interested in geography, social justice, international relations, urban studies, and environmental policy. It equips students with essential analytical skills and a critical understanding of the structural factors that shape global inequalities, preparing them for careers in research, advocacy, and global development.
Lernorganisation Meeting with lecturer
Participants are required to schedule an individual meeting with the instructor prior to week 8 in the semester (specific date of deadline TBA). This meeting is an opportunity for students to get feedback on their ideas about the topic of the final assessment, to ask the instructor questions or to express concerns about the course. This meeting will take 10-15 minutes.

Final Assessment / Blog 60 %
The final assessment is a blog entry in which students are required to map one of the discussed types of inequality and write a short text explaining the map. Students do not need to use cartographic software or GIS to complete this task (although they are welcome to if they wish). It’s perfectly fine to draw a map by hand or use some other technique if they prefer. Whatever technique is used, participants should produce a detailed map showing how a selected type of inequality is reproduced across space. This will be accompanied by a brief (500-700 words) paper. Additionally, students should provide constructive comments on at least 2 blog entries of their fellow students. The blog entries will be published on the blog website of the course. Students will receive a detailed write-up explaining the assignment during the course.
Leistungsnachweis 1. Reading Responses 40 %
Students must submit a 200-500 word reading response for sessions. Reading responses are due by 10pm the day before the seminar. Responses are to be uploaded to Stud IP. The reading response should comprise the following items:
1. Quotation: Quote 1-3 sentences from the text that you think are central to the author’s argument.
2. Argument: In no more than a few sentences, state the author's explicit or implicit argument.
3. Question: Raise a question that you would like to ask the author. This could be a question of interpretation, of methods or it could be referred to the aspects of the readings that you do not understand.
4. Connection: Connect the argument of this text to an argument or point you find in the other readings and/or discussions in the class. Explain how the primary text's argument contrasts with, confirms, clarifies, or elaborates the other text's argument or point.

Kommentar/Beschreibung

The course examines the spatial dimensions of social, economic, and environmental inequalities across the globe. By drawing on interdisciplinary critical approaches, students will be able to identify the multifarious forms that inequality can take and develop an understanding on how and why social and spatial inequalities might have persisted over time. The themes discussed in this course are the following: inequalities and the labour market, racial and ethnic inequalities, environment inequality, segregation and neighbourhood, poverty and deprivation, as well as immigration and inequality.

By the end of this course, students will be able to:
• Critically assess the geographic dimensions of global inequalities and explain how inequality is unevenly reproduced across space.
• Understand the difficulties in defining and measuring social and spatial inequalities and apply theoretical frameworks to contemporary issues related to social and economic disparities.
• Demonstrate critical awareness of the ways to measure inequalities and deprivation and identify and review the types of data sources that can be used to explore social and spatial inequalities.
• Critically consider policy developments/responses to problems of social and spatial inequalities.
