On the MA in Global Politics: Theory & Activism, you will investigate twenty-first century politics, with an emphasis on transformative ideas, actions, and practices. We encourage you to explore critical theoretical perspectives and to apply them to political engagements and practical endeavours. First, we focus on theories of power and politics that explain both global and local relations, looking at and beyond international relations theories and giving particular attention to influences and innovations from the Global South. Secondly, we consider how social movements and activist practices pose a decisive challenge to mainstream politics, from the bottom-up. You will have opportunities to analyse the contestations around crucial global challenges, including the climate emergency, racism, gender inequality, human rights, development, and the decolonisation of public and private institutions. Thirdly, we offer training and guidance in research methods and cultural production, in line with Goldsmiths' commitments to promoting interdisciplinarity, creativity and practice-based learning.
