IDS 1136 - Community and Globalization

Credits: 2
This Jan Term study/community engagement experience will help students to understand globalization on a deep, personal level. Through readings, reflections and visits to factories, farms, schools, homes and more, students will come to understand the complex personal, social and political issues that arise when one’s local experience is connected to greater global realities. Students will be introduced to community members, workers, business owners, diplomats, migrants, activists, and social service providers, and they will have opportunities to  engage with the community, be that through participant observer community work or reflection on ways to be civically engaged both in the United States and abroad.
