Global Studies

Global Studies encourages students to grapple with the fundamental dynamics of our time through an interdisciplinary framework. We are interested in the social processes that cut across regions, the global flows that have local impacts and the local initiatives that have global resonances. The concentration has three tracks, (1) one which deals with the realm of consciousness (gender, race and class), (2) another which deals with the contradictions of the material world (sustainable development), and (3) a third which allows students to compare two regions of the world (comparative regions).
