=A Course in Global Studies=

The Goal of Global Studies is extensive. The course will examine contemporary issues and interpret them from an economic perspective. Our goal is to learn about the role of economics in political and social issues. Of course, this also implies that there will be some history in the course, as understanding how things came to be as they are helps all of us reflect on what we have done, and where we might like to go.

Our first unit is on Globalization. By all means, have a discussion with them about the economic, social/cultural and political influences and impacts it is having in our world. The NEWS is always a great place to start.

We hope you enjoy reflecting on our globe (Yes, I know, it's a sad little wordplay).
