Notes:

What does it mean to think globally? This discussion-Based course invites students to explore how networks and flows of people, wealth, goods, Ideas, and information across vast distances have shaped human experience. Course materials draw on insights from a range of disciplines, enabling student to apply global perspectives to the study of issues such as identity, war, migration, commerce, human rights, justice, and artistic expression and communication. Literature has long been a resource for understanding the values, beliefs, and practices of different cultures. In this course, students will read, discuss, and write about literature from different periods, nations, and regions across the world in order to better understand the way human experiences and different cultures relate. We will consider how literature represents real policies and practices in the contemporary world and our ethical responsibility as global citizens. All literature will be read and taught in English.
