Introduction to Global Citizenship

3 credits · Undergraduate

(3 hrs Lecture) In this course students trace the historical development of the idea of "global citizenship," interrogating the meanings, contradictions and contentions associated with this term. Through guest speakers and student research on specific issues and injustices that are present in Manitoba communities, and which also have global connections or manifestations, students examine current practices aimed at fostering global citizenship. The future of concepts related to global citizenship is addressed by analyzing rights and democratic citizenship and asking how such rights should be articulated and advanced. Restrictions: Students may not hold credit for this course and IDS-1200 or HR-1300.
