Global Studies Capstone Seminar

Catalog description

Global Studies VI investigates global issues as they manifest locally in New York City and, more broadly, in the United States. Through readings, guest speakers, field visits, and participant observation, students will engage in issues of economic inequality, social inequality, justice, migration, environmental sustainability, and urbanization. Student-facilitated class discussions bring the research and learning that students have gained around the world into conversation with these global issues in New York. Students articulate their engagement with these and other issues in an educational autobiography that reviews their academic career at Global. With the field components of the course that demand transportation and breaks, the duration of the weekly class extends beyond the traditional three hours and may vary from week to week. In order to register for this course, the student must be an active member of the Global College Student Group.
