GCP 010Introduction to Global Citizenship3
In this interdisciplinary course, we explore the notion of global citizenship. We examine historical and current frameworks around how diverse sectors and stakeholders are responding to global crises and examine the SDGs. We also take on the inevitable paradoxes, contradictions, hypocrisies and biases that arise in this practice. As individuals, you will work towards forming your own definition/mission statement as a point of departure for taking up an intentional position within the contemporary globalized world. Attribute/Distribution: SS
Global citizenship assumes awareness of and contact with those unlike ourselves. This course brings us into a sustained consideration of self, other, and difference, in both theory and practice. How do we approach other people and difference in general, and why has this marked such a challenge for us as humans? We will examine Western understandings of self and other as well as non-Western conceptualizations, considering these questions within the frameworks of cosmopolitanism and global citizenship. Prerequisites: GCP 010 Attribute/Distribution: HU
This course takes us into practice. How can we engage deeply and well with difference as we live our lives and do our work? We will analyze these questions via case studies and through engaging with guest speakers from diverse professional areas. The course includes a study trip as a cohort which will provide a deep dive into global citizenship practice around SDGs in a non-US site. These experiences will deepen our discussions around culture, leadership and collaboration. Prerequisites: GCP 010 and GCP 185 Attribute/Distribution: HU
Cities are home to a good part of our world. For some, cities are buzzing places of excitement and innovation, interactions and ideas. For others, they are hostile, uncomfortable, sordid and soulless. As a global citizenship practitioner, you are likely to find yourself engaging with urban locales in some way. In this course, we will examine what makes a city healthy, safe, creative, welcoming and otherwise life-sustaining. The course includes experiential elements. Prerequisites: GCP 010 and GCP 185 and GCP 186
