GLOBAL STUDIES FACULTY STUDY
GROUPS
From its inception, the Center
for the Study of Global Change has supported Faculty Study Groups to facilitate
and encourage intellectual exchange between faculty and students from different
disciplines and professional schools.
The Center seeks to expand the development of Global Studies Faculty
Study Groups to faculty, administrators, and graduate students throughout the
IU system. For example, through the use
of interactive video technology, study group participants at all eight IU
campuses could participate in a wide range of international issues that can be
used to develop new courses, publish research, and stimulate interdisciplinary
discussions. Past and current Faculty
Study Groups supported by the Center include:
<Changing Patterns in the Use
of Force
<The Transformation of
Communist and Post-Communist Societies
<Coping with Globalization
<Culture, Communication, and
Identity in the Modern Nation State
<Neoliberalism and Structural Adjustment
in Latin America and
<Global Ageing
<Comparing Socialist and
Post-Socialist Cultures: East Asia and
The
Center can provide funding to support the travel of visiting faculty, the
organization of conferences (excluding food and beverages), the travel of
Faculty Study Group members to academic conferences, and partial publication
support. The Center plans to support two
Faculty Study Groups per year. Faculty
from all academic disciplines and professional schools from any of the IU
system campuses are encouraged to apply.
