INDS 2025 - Contemporary Global Issues
Credits: 3
The purpose of this course is to help students develop a better understanding of the growing global interdependence that structures the world they live in. Students will acquire a basic understanding of a number of the most pressing issues that are both an effect of globalization and require solutions that transcend the boundaries of individual nation states and societies. They will come to understand the complexity of the issues by looking at case studies through different lenses and get a sense that they have opportunities to become agents rather than observers in the process of problem solving. The class will investigate the impact of globalization on the economy, the environment, health issues, the environment and security. The course will offer a number of guest lectures and interactive learning strategies such as video conferencing with partner colleges, service learning opportunities and role plays in order to cope with the complexity of the topic while employing hands-on, experiential learning strategies.
Prerequisite: ENG 1010
