Global Perspectives (GL)
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 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
  • The “GL” marker indicates broad global perspectives on cultures, nations, or sub-nationalities in regions of the work other than Great Britain or North America (with the exception of indigenous peoples)
  • A specific course should focus on the social, literary, cultural, historical, geographic, economic, religious, artistic, or political conditions of peoples in regions other than Great Britain or North America (with the exception of indigenous peoples)
  • 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.
