TEP-6370.LA: Global Perspectives in an Era of Change

This course is designed to help candidates develop the competence to function effectively and ethically in a complex, rapidly changing world that is increasingly interdependent yet fraught with conflicts and disparities. Learning to look at the world from a global perspective assures that graduates have had at least one significant academic exposure to the world beyond the US borders and the opportunity to consider their implications of this knowledge of the international community and their own lives. Topics addressed will include contemporary popular culture, nationalism, globalization, international education, human rights, economics, regional, ethnic or religious conflict and the role of government. Through concentrated study of a particular country, culture or region or through in-depth focus on a particular global issue with reference to two of more parts of the world, or through the study of global affairs by comparative method, candidates may cultivate a broader and more thoughtful perspective; increase their global awareness; and learn the importance of the particularities of place, time, and culture to understand our world in order to become a world citizen. Topics vary for each Global Perspectives class by quarter.
