Description / Descripción

To engage students in global scholarship is a wonderful opportunity; it is also a responsibility that requires conscientiousness. How can we prepare students to thoughtfully engage in global scholarship when misinformation is rampant? How can we acknowledge our biases and avoid relying on them in any study of difference? How do we avoid reinforcing the dominant narrative in our courses? This poster session will consider these questions and offer curricular materials and pedagogical strategies to address them through a consideration of course preparation and desired outcomes.
