Foundations of Global Studies: Culture

Catalog description

This course connects the semester curriculum to the global issues that constitute LIU Global’s core curriculum in Global Studies. Focusing on the cultural lens, the course will treat a number of global issues as they are addressed in other courses and manifested in the local environment, particularly migration and economic and social inequality. Comparing and contrasting the cultural lens with environmental, governance, and economic lenses, students will learn how to approach global issues from multiple angles and thereby gain a holistic perspective. To complement the classroom education, this course will arrange extensive experiential engagement with sites, institutions, and communities in the surrounding areas.
