This course will empower students to benefit society through policy research, writing, and organizing.

All students will gain hands-on leadership experience by organizing the Center for Global Studies’ inaugural Global Policy Forum, a student-led symposium that will bring together voices from across campus to analyze global challenges, practice policy engagement, and generate applied outputs for scholarly and public debates. Additionally, students enrolled for 3- or 4-credits will learn to craft a compelling policy brief to be included in a CGS-hosted student journal, the CGS’s policy brief series, or other professional outlet for impactful policy scholarship.
