IN 213 - Introduction to Global Studies

Credits: 4
Many of today’s most pressing problems are embedded in globalization’s web and demand interdisciplinary tools to solve them. Political, historical, economic, and cultural context for issues such as globalization, development, and human rights allow for understanding not just the problems themselves, but their origins and the reasons why such problems have become entrenched. Through case studies that connect theory to past and current events at local, national, and regional levels, this course empowers students to take on global issues in their own lives.
