Course Description: Advanced Global Thinking gives students in geography and related disciplines the opportunity to develop and apply their understanding of geographic principles at a global scale. Students will investigate connections that migration, commerce, and cultural exchange continue to create between the gateway communities of Massachusetts and other places throughout the world. They will apply critical perspectives from cultural, economic, political, and environmental geography to current questions of international policy, especially as related to migration, climate change, trade, and human development. Students will also gain an understanding of global institutions in which these perspectives may be applied, including intergovernmental agencies, military alliances, trading blocs and non-governmental organizations.
Prerequisite: Any upper-level regional geography course (GEOG 374, 375, 376, 381, 383, 386, or 388) or consent of instructor. Students pursuing minors in area studies (such as Cape Verde, Africa, Latin America, or MENA) are encouraged to reach out via jhayesboh@bridgew.edu with GEOG 470 in the subject line.
