Globalization has become a centerpiece in our times when increasing economic, cultural, and educational interconnections propel nations and citizens to think globally and act locally. Drawing on international scholarship, this course aims to help students make sense of this multi-faceted phenomenon of globalization and examine key themes, issues, and trends that affect education around the world. A variety of topics will be discussed and students will be given opportunities to reflect and analyze their own educational system in relation to these themes and issues. No prior course work on related topics is required.
