Global Studies Seminar Abroad

Credit: 3 hours.

Seminars introduce students to aspects of globalization through a case study of a particular location abroad. On campus, students explore historical and contemporary aspects of the location abroad to prepare for their field visit. Abroad, students engage with local resources and people to better understand how the local site contributes to and is impacted by relevant global processes under focus. Course activities will include a field site visit abroad, discussions, lectures, short essays, student presentation, and final projects. Topics vary according to site location and instructor expertise. For more information, go to: http://wwww.las.uiuc.edu/coursesabroad/globalstudies.html.

May be repeated in separate terms to a maximum of 6 hours.

In many European and non-European countries, new events are understood and interpreted through the memory of distant historical experiences that may or may not be related to the new situation. Our goal is to provide students with the tools to recognize the presence of coded representations of migrant people and citizens and become aware of the unintended consequences of the use of such tropes.
