Global and Regional Studies embraces a variety of disciplinary perspectives and has as its primary focus the complex interplay between regional cultures, histories, and politics and the ongoing processes of globalization. Combining courses that examine specific regions in depth with those that explore the contours of global communities, the Concentration fosters the analytical skills needed for students to critically participate on both local and global levels as socially responsible world citizens.
