The Global Feminisms Collaborative's 2008-2009 Brown-bag Series calls attention to critical intersections among factors such as race, class, sexuality, and gender in both local and global contexts. At this session, co-hosted by the Center for Teaching, faculty from various disciplines will discuss tools that educators can use to include often marginalized perspectives in their courses. Panelists will discuss: Why globalize the perspectives in a course? (How is it similar and different from attending to difference and diversity?) How to include global perspectives in a course? What difference does it make? How does it change learning goals and outcome measurements? What are some key texts for different disciplines? After each panelist's short presentation, the conversation will open to those in the audience.
