Global Studies Seminar: Theories,

Catalog description

Issues, Solutions The objective of Global Studies V is to orient students to the theories of globalization and use them to shed light on the major issues faced collectively by humanity. Students will acquire a basic understanding of the way major thinkers in economics, political science, environmental science and cultural studies articulate the acute issues characteristic of the Global Age. Students will also learn how these same disciplinary perspectives may contribute to holistic policy, entrepreneurial and advocacy solutions. Students will complete a project focused on a global issue that is of specific interest to them, developing their own interdisciplinary bibliography and a literature review that prepares them for their Independent Research and Internship Semester (IRIS) and their Senior Thesis. The course's review of global issues will be tied to field experiences in the center or program in which the course is delivered. In order to register for this course, the student must be an active member of the Global College Student Group.
