How can educators help students address the challenges and opportunities of an increasingly globalized world? To paraphrase Tip O’Neill, all global studies is local. Too often, global/international studies is framed as a strategic interrogation of otherness, an economic or political reconnaissance mission for competitive advantage. But the real challenge of globalization is nothing less than a holistic re-imagining of one’s identity and place in the world. This roundtable examines ways to integrate disciplinary perspectives in an international studies program to help students understand and appreciate their unique role in an increasingly integrated world.
