Tony Lott's CILA Associate Learning Community has been working to develop an interdisciplinary understanding of what is meant by "incorporating a global perspective" in the classroom. Key elements in the group's evolving approach to a global perspective include, but are not limited to, interconnections (systemic and institutional structures and the way that cultural meanings are constructed amid those constraints), literacies (knowledge, skills, and practices that are contingent and situated in interdisciplinary learning processes), and experiences (attention to the need to engage with the world while recognizing the ethical responsibilities that such engagement demands). Come join the conversation about how to provide students with opportunities to encounter and understand a "global perspective" inside a St. Olaf classroom.
