Global Awareness
The purpose of a minor in Global Awareness is to provide the students with the capacity and the inclination to place people, objects, situations and the self in the broader context of our contemporary world.
Project Zero specifies three capabilities at the heart of global awareness: global sensitivity — i.e. sensitivity to local phenomena and experiences as manifestation of broader developments in the planet; global understanding — i.e. the capacity to think in flexible and informed ways about contemporary world issues and developments; and global self — i.e. a perception of self as global actor, a situated sense of planetary belonging and membership in humanity that supplements action and prompts civic commitments.
