The first Fall 2017 Global Vantage Point Lecture Series event featured three Trinity students who presented their summer 2017 field research.
A key to the success of urban-global programming at Trinity over the last few years since the launch of the Center for Urban and Global Studies (CUGS) in 2007 is the consistent focus on linking and integrating local (Hartford-based) and global aspects of urban studies and engagement on one hand, bridging classroom and experiential learning across multiple field sites. It also involves building strong connections between faculty teaching and research and student learning and research that span the local-global nexus. To illustrate how we have. implemented this integrated strategy, we provide an account for a trio of initiatives at different stages of execution that have intersected and reinforced each other’s strengths with synergistic benefits for both students and faculty.
