Calendar course description
This course is for students in the Business and Society program. It investigates the
intersection of business practices and systemic bias against marginalized groups – in
particular visible minorities and women in the global economy.
Course Description
The central purpose of this course is to offer in a broad and an interdisciplinary framework for
understanding of business and trade exchanges in the Global South. The following questions
guide the course:
1) Are business practices in the Global South done differently? If so, in what way are they done
differently?
2) In what way does social exclusion in the Global South impede the development of socially
responsible business?
3) What are the consequences of the rapidly changing and globalizing market economy for social
inclusion and exclusion in the Global South?
4) Currently, the Global South is experiencing a problem of large scale human displacement that
is generating migrants and refugees. How are these migrants and refugees included and excluded
in business?
In order to address these questions, we will focus on selected examples from different Global
South countries. Throughout the course we will examine how ordinary people in the Global South
mediate the intersecting relations of gender, race, class, ethnicity, caste, ability and age in
business.
The Major Course Objectives/Learning Outcomes are:
SOSC 3042 Fall 2018
i) To think creatively and critically on finding solutions to reduce social exclusion locally and
internationally;
ii) To expand awareness of social inequality and related issues;
iii) To gain familiarity with a broad range of explanations of business and social exclusion;
iv) To think through the future challenges of business and social inclusivity in the rapidly
Globalizing World;
v) To learn about some of the challenges encountering business in the Global South countries;
vi) To appreciate the diversity of socio-economic and cultural forms found in the Global South
and to discuss how they shape social interaction in business.
Course Format: The format of the course is designed for students to actively engage with the
course readings and participate in class discussion, and share their interest and research findings.
The course readings have been selected to interest students in the key themes examined in the
course. Students are expected and required to do the weekly assigned readings before class and
participate in active and constructive dialogue. To make the course and tutorials successful,
students are encouraged to listen to one another carefully and participate in discussion that is
critical and respectful. In order to use our limited class/tutorial time effectively and equitably,
students are advised to be brief when participating in any class/tutorial discussions.
Organization of the Course
The course involves a combination of brief formal lectures by the course director and will be
followed by tutorial discussions. Each weekly lecture/tutorials will focus on covering the reading
assignment for the week. Seminar sessions and tutorials will be the main focus for discussion of
required and recommended readings, and research assignments in the course. The required
readings are central to the course. The lectures, tutorial, seminar discussions and films will serve
to enrich, clarify, and illustrate crucial issues from the assigned readings.
Student Conduct
Students and instructors are expected to maintain a professional relationship characterized by
courtesy and mutual respect and to refrain from actions disruptive to such a relationship.
Moreover, it is the responsibility of the instructor to maintain an appropriate academic
atmosphere in the classroom, and the responsibility of the student to cooperate in that endeavour.
Further, the instructor is the best person to decide, in the first instance, whether such an
atmosphere is present in the class. A statement of the policy and procedures involving disruptive
and/or harassing behaviour by students in academic situations is available on the York website at:
http://www.yorku.ca/secretariat/policies/document.php?document=202
Rules for all of us
This course combines lecture and seminar, and during class discussion we may cover sensitive
issues of difference. All of us in this course are expected to help create a comfortable and positive
learning environment. The course is organized to encourage a participatory environment for
students, and students are encouraged to read the course material critically. In order for this to
work well, everyone must participate and do her/his part. Please, do not do text messaging during
lectures, seminars, presentations, and discussions.
