Introduction to Global Studies (207-0-70)
Instructors
Yasemin Celikkol
Meeting Info
Northwestern Qatar Room 2-257: Tues, Su 4:00PM - 5:15PM (AST)
Overview of class
Global Studies is an emerging field that seeks to provide a holistic, transdisciplinary perspective on global issues and challenges, under the assumption that no one single academic field is sufficient to understand our hyper-globalized world. This is not a class about international (state-to-state) relations, or one that combines various strands of area studies to comprise a "world studies" class. Instead, this class will provide a comprehensive view of our world through an exploration of complex issues and challenges organized around three strands: global governance (states, intergovernmental organizations, civil society); global interactions (politics, economics, culture); and global challenges (human rights, development, migration, security, health, environment). This course will provide students with a global purview and a critical understanding of the interconnectedness of global phenomena and their impact on individuals and communities. The course will also encourage students to reflect on their own role as global citizens.
Registration Requirements
- Prerequisites: None
- Open to first-year students, sophomores and ABP Dual Enrolled students
- Open for Cross-Registration
