Student Learning Goals
At the end of this course, the student will be able to:
- Demonstrate an understanding of the interconnections among regions of the world, including regions other than North America, Great Britain, and continental Europe, in such aspects as colonial and neocolonial relationships, human rights, discourses of justice, cultural and aesthetic developments, technology, ecology, or epistemology
- Locate, interpret, and evaluate information on diverse global cultures
- Demonstrate sensitivity to cultural differences on a global scale
General Expectations

- A specific course should focus on the social, literary, cultural, historical, geographic, economic, artistic, or political conditions of peoples outside the Anglo and Anglo-American context, and of peoples of diasporic and indigenous groups
- Curricular issues include matters of cultural, social, political, economic, or historical change, for example, human diversity, identity, interdependence, human rights, justice, political systems, ecology, technology, material culture, or post-colonial developments
- The term “global” carries with it an emphasis on the inter-connections between regions, whether conceived in terms of colonial and neocolonial relationships, human rights, discourses of justice, cultural and aesthetic developments, technology, ecology, or epistemology
