Presenter: Dr. Maia Sheppard, Assistant Professor, Social Studies Education 

Description: This workshop is MANDATORY for students in the GO Track. People, communities, cultures, and countries are more connected with others across the globe than they have ever been. Globalization, however, is not without problems, both ethical and social. This workshop will explore the global and local dimensions of social, historical, and cultural issues that shape us, with a particular lens on how schools and educators act as mediators in these issues.

Learning Goals: 1) Comparing and contrasting colonialism and imperialism. 2) Understanding the influences of histories of colonialism and imperialism on current political, cultural, and social aspects in the local and global levels.
