Defining globalization and reflecting on its relationship to gender

To start class today, I'd like you to reflect on our readings on gender and globalization. In your own words, how would you define globalization? Which writer do you think provides us with the best or most useful explanation of this term? Next, I'd like you to identify one key example from one of the readings that you think illustrates most powerfully the relationship between globalization and gender. Last, post any questions you have here about today's reading.
