Global Studies

Learn about the transition from dictatorship to democracy in the Balkans through an analysis and study of the collapse of the former Yugoslavia and the efforts to end and prevent conflict.

This course will introduce you to a basic framework for understanding international human rights law in both its domestic and geopolitical perspectives. 

This is the core course of the GEO London semester. There are two blocks: the British Present and the British Past. As their names suggest, they deal with contemporary British politics and society and with key formative moments in English history. While there is a formal structure to the course we will not live in isolation from the world outside. There will certainly be events which illustrate or contradict what has been discussed in class: you are encouraged to bring your thoughts on these into class discussions.

This course offers students individualized, applied learning opportunities to explore and clarify career goals, apply theory, acquire new skills, gain experience, further investigate topics of interest, and improve teamwork through an organized group research activity.
