PROCEDURES FOR GLOBAL STUDIES Welcome to Global Studies:

“Global thinkers” WHAT IS GLOBAL STUDIES??

GLOBAL STUDIES…  Global studies will help us become “global thinkers” in every sense.  Drawing from fields as different as geography, music, political science, and ecology, we will look at the connections between nations and peoples and the trends that shape our lives.  In Global studies we will compare regions across the globe to shed light on world issues. We will study many different areas, including political science, economics, language, and cultural. “[Global studies] is a field that emphasizes the interconnections and interactions among phenomena, whether commodities, migrations, or popular music.”

IT HELPS TO BE... Flexible. Sometimes you’ll need to look at the big picture; at other times you’ll need to zoom in for an in-depth study of a particular region or nation.
