Illinois Global Institute is pleased to announce the fall 2020 courses that are part of the on-line and hybrid course development initiative by the IGI and its ten area and global studies centers and thematic programs. This initiative has supported course development across disciplines, including 33 courses in 22 departments in 6 colleges and schools.
Global learning, which has always been an integral part of the University of Illinois, is doubly important in our moment. As it becomes more difficult for students, faculty and visitors to travel, faculty are pursuing new ways to engage with the world. And amid a global pandemic, it is critical that we understand this experience and our relationships to it in its global perspectives. The courses supported by our online learning initiative are intended to bridge and connect students to our world through creative pedagogies and new methods and materials.
The Illinois Global Institute is comprised of ten area study centers and thematic programs: Center for African Studies, Center for East Asian and Pacific Studies, Center for Global Studies, Center for Latin American and Caribbean Studies, Center for South Asian and Middle Eastern Studies, European Union Center, The Lemann Center for Brazilian Studies, Program in Arms Control and Domestic and International Security, Russian, East European, and Eurasian Center, Women and Gender in Global Perspectives.
