  4. The Global Scholars Program 2nd Annual Conference: Global Citizenship in Practice

    December 2, 2017 - 10:00am to 4:00pm

    The Global Scholars Program 2nd Annual Conference: Global Citizenship in Practice 

    Global citizenship is a popular idea among many of us, yet we do not always conceptualize or actualize it in the same ways. Some argue we are all global citizens by virtue of our increasing interconnectedness with other people and cultures. Others identify as global citizens because of a sense of collective responsibility for a shared future worldwide, a responsibility which must be actively incorporated into daily life. Further complicating this notion is the question of access: who has the knowledge, resources, and power to claim global citizenship as an identity and to make decisions affecting global change?

    Global Citizenship in Practice is an opportunity to engage interdisciplinary approaches to global citizenship, with emphasis on how we put this idea into practice. Conference presenters will use a variety of formats, such as sharing their research, telling their stories, leading discussions, performing or showing art, and more.

    Some questions to be explored include:

    What are the philosophical and legal challenges to defining global citizenship, a notion that implies both rights and responsibilities?

    What values are we attempting to communicate when we claim to be a "citizen of the world"?

    How do current issues (e.g., world trade, immigration, resource disparities) inform or complicate the notion of global citizenship?

    What are examples of how members of our own campus practice global citizenship across disciplines, through scholarship and service?

    How can we, as individuals, better understand the global effects of our current habits and behaviors, and what positive changes can we bring to our own practice of global citizenship?
