Center for the Study of Global Change - Indiana University

earning, and research in global studies. The Center for the Study of Global Change maintains a strong commitment to interdisciplinary study and research and consciously encourages the crossing of academic disciplinary boundaries. Our educational programs and research encompass topics of global importance and our emphasis on "change" sets a foundation for the academic exploration of dynamic, transnational, complex, and multi-faceted phenomena. Symposiums, faculty study groups, courses, workshops, and academic programs explore a variety of topics, such as societal and democratic transformations, the interplay of power, health, and culture, environmental change and international policy, nationalisms and language, global securities and insecurities, and multidisciplinary human rights, from both multidisciplinary and regional perspectives. Teaching and learning is at the heart of the mission of the Global Center, which is engaged in a systematic and sustained effort of infusing global perspectives in undergraduate, graduate, and K-12 teaching. The Center for the Study of Global Change promotes collaboration and innovation as central to all our curricular, research, and outreach programs, as well as in the wide range of conferences, exhibits, and other events that explore and provide education on issues of global significance.
