Elon faculty members Amy Johnson, Evan Gatti and Matt Buckmaster presented “Intentionally Global: An examination of the “global citizen” through intentional connections between the Core Curriculum &
Global Education at Elon University” at the CIEE Conference in Barcelona, Spain.
The presentation examines how to foster a critical understanding of global mindedness through intentional and scaffolded courses in the core curriculum and study abroad offices. The presentation outlines the many ways students are able to engage concepts of global and go global at Elon University. The approximately 80 percent of Elon students who are able to participate in study away opportunities do so because global engagement is actually embedded in our core curriculum.
These students are able to think critically about their experiences away because faculty and staff across the curriculum foster critical examinations of the meaning and role of a “global citizen.”
