INQ-300 | Global Citizenship

Full Title: Cross-Cultural Inquiry: Preparation for Global Citizenship

Topic Description:

What is your definition of Global Citizenship? Do you have the knowledge, skills and attitude required to function effectively as a citizen of a highly interdependent, interconnected and culturally diverse world? How do you know that your cross-cultural views are valid? This course seeks to answer these questions through an inquiry process where students are intellectually challenged to explore their values, beliefs, experiences and engage in research addressing global issues from a cross-cultural perspective. Course textbooks offer a wide range of readings from US and international authors and scholars, offering authentic world perspectives. Class assignments provide opportunities for students to examine targeted global themes, engage in critical reflective tasks, participate in collaborative inquiry team activities and conduct individual research projects.
