This module critically focuses on global social harms in a variety of settings. It will attract students interested in a number of contemporary issues, for example: human rights, structural inequalities, social justice, state and corporate power, and accountability. Students will critically examine the complex relationships that exist between the state, corporations, citizens, the law and culture. Using a social harm lens, theoretical frameworks and principles will be applied to examine the structurally embedded nature of harm and violence across the globe. These issues include harms caused by criminal justice agencies and social policy architectures; environmental and corporate harms in the Global South; and stigma, cultural and institutional harms. Issues will be critically evaluated by focusing attention on multiple sites and social locations from various national and regional contexts. This will encourage students to go beyond the study of state and corporate harms in the UK thinking to consider global structural dynamics of harm in diverse locations.
