LOS 400 - Senior Seminar: Global Citizenship

In this research-based course, students will develop an understanding of current global challenges and their effects on local communities, as well as the major stakeholders involved in addressing these challenges. They will learn about the role of international organizations and the processes these organizations use to design and implement effective solutions for global challenges. They will explore how proposed solutions may be affected by the intersection of cultural perspectives and sovereign interests. As an outcome of the course, students will identify a global issue/challenge that they care deeply about and will develop an actionable “Commitment to Action Proposal” to address a manageably-sized piece of that larger issue.
