2. What’s at stake? How can citizens and leaders understand and address major contemporary problems—the well-being and health of populations, climate change, global economics, persistent conflicts, poverty, human rights, resource shortages, pandemics, terrorism, technology—when they are ignorant of basic geography, let alone clueless about the multitude of diverse and inter-related cultures in the world, and how these have been shaped by a long history of population movements, innovations, exploitation of resources, exploration, wars, empires, oppression, colonization, and social, intellectual, technological, and political revolutions? Some Personal thoughts. My family history and professional career have heightened an interest in identity, world history, and culture. Returning on a flight from Europe, I chatted to a poised, bright, college student. After staring at the flight map in the airline’s magazine for 15 minutes, she turned to me and asked (without embarrassment) “Where is Italy?” If I could, I would require every student to spend a week devoted to a good “Atlas of World History” and another to studying a “UN Human Development Report”—before they could progress to sophomore year! http://www.worldwatch.org/ United Nations Human Development Report http://www.undp.org/hdr2009.shtml Some favorite “international” reference books

Built on a rich array of existing “international” courses (mostly CoLA) Tag line: “study abroad at home” Goal: to expose students to “the world” to expose students to other cultures (ways of life, thinking, religion, art, economics, politics, and so forth) to help students to understand the relationships between peoples to help students to appreciate the history of peoples, countries, and cultures to encourage further study, study abroad, and travel with an open mind to allow easy access whatever the student’s areas of interest Global Studies is a brand new and exciting minor! It illustrates well the rich scope of CoLA international courses. Goal: That most CoLA students take this minor!
