The Centre for Global Studies is an academic unit unique to Huron University College in the University of Western Ontario community. The Centre's faculty and students are dedicated to excellence in interdisciplinary study of the practices, organisations, contexts, and ideas through which people are increasingly establishing complex forms of interrelation, struggle, and communication with one another on global scales. Students in our degree programs learn in specific topics engaged with the breadth of global concerns explored in the Centre. We commit ourselves to providing students in each degree program with challenging and stimulating courses which encourage their development of critical and linguistic skills in thinking, research, and writing. Our courses broaden and deepen students' knowledge of global issues and teach students how to teach themselves about the world(s) in which they live. We offer students community experiential learning opportunities through which they may recognise their responsibilities as learners and scholars, become aware of the social contexts in which they learn, and better understand the relations between theory, practice, and power.
