Global Pluralisms
Courses with this designation focus students’ attention upon issues of pluralism from a global perspective. The use of analytical frameworks challenges students to articulate and analyze social, cultural, artistic, religious, philosophical, ethical, economic, political, and/or policy differences of particular people or cultures outside the United States, and the power relations implicated in such differences and their analysis. These courses also include a consideration of multicultural perspectives within and among different countries, as well as the impact of global interdependence upon the lives of individuals. This may include comparisons between or among countries, as well as comparisons of different time periods. Through the process of examining Global Pluralisms, students prepare for participation and citizenship in an increasingly diverse world. Global Pluralisms courses are designated GP in this catalog and in each semester’s registration materials.
STUDENT LEARNING OUTCOMES
In courses with GP designation, students will have opportunities to do the following:
- Articulate an understanding of some person or group of people outside the United States from the perspective of history, culture, religion, politics, society, gender, art, literature, music, language, economics, philosophy, health care, or some other disciplinary or interdisciplinary perspective(s).
- From one or more disciplinary perspectives, articulate and analyze the power relations (e.g., imperialism, colonialism, political or cultural hegemony, or marginalization) among two or more nations or groups of people.
- Examine the impact of global interdependence on the lives of individuals.
Courses with GP designation must address the first learning outcome, and at least one of the remaining two learning outcomes.
