INTE-UE 10: Introduction to Global Education

Course Description:
This survey course offers an introduction to the field of global education. Education in the 21st century is undoubtedly a central area for international collaboration as well as contestation. In this survey course, we will examine key debates about the role of education in national & international society, examining the multiple stake holders that work to improve education globally, & their diverse interpretations of that mandate. The course will introduce students to the history of mass education as a global phenomenon, & the comparative ways in which it is now studied. Students will examine both K-12 & higher education. Liberal Arts Core/CORE Equivalent - satisfies the requirement for Society & Social Sciences. Throughout this course, we will understand and define global education in theory and practice. While most commonly associated with international and comparative education and/or study abroad, global education has meant a range of things. Global citizenship education, international schools, multicultural education, colonial education, human rights education, education in emergencies, refugee education, are all under the umbrella of global education. So, what does global education mean in today’s increasingly complex and diverse world? What drives education to be “global” rather than national or even local? How are global issues and agendas part of local education planning? Who is global education for? Why/do we need it?
