Study of how everyday things—the food we consume, the clothes we wear, the furniture we sit on—intertwine urban dwellers with distant people, places, and spaces. The course provides theoretical and methodological approaches to understand how supply chains and networks are perpetually reconfigured by processes of (de)globalization and the role of corporations, nation-states, labor, NGOs, and consumers. The course provides understanding on efforts to make supply chains more sustainable, resilient, and humane.  Students will learn the skills necessary to track the origin of products through the supply chain, as well as methods and practices to calculate the carbon footprint of corporate supply chains, especially Scope 3 emissions.
