Description: 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) Students will examine the meaning of colonialism, imperialism and globalization. 2) Students will understand the impacts of the global and local dimensions of social, historical and cultural issues on education.
