Global Topics:

Course Description

Global Topics seminars are small discussion courses that put topics of contemporary or historical interest into a global framework. They normally draw examples from several of the regions in which the junior year sites available for study are located, but their main purpose is to study the global networks that allow one to understand a specific topic across disparate places; they are not area studies courses, but courses in thinking globally. Emphasis is placed on students encountering the global in the University’s urban setting, as well as in the classroom. The concentration designation provided for Global Topics courses is informational; it is meant to assist students in formulating a coherent program, not to limit their choices. In consultation with their advisors, students may freely choose Global Topics courses outside the concentration they plan to pursue.
