This course contains a Blackboard/ELMS component.

This course will introduce students to core theories, traditions, and practices associated with decolonial research, and examine how qualitative methodologies (e.g. narrative inquiry, case study, ethnography, participatory research, etc.) may act as decolonial tools by fostering more horizontal research practices.

International Education & Cultural Exchange will survey key aspects of international education exchange administration, policy, and practice. The course is designed to introduce students to various arenas of the international education field with an emphasis on the internationalization efforts of American universities, current trends in the field of international higher education exchange, and the university's role in academic diplomacy efforts. This semester the course will be offered in a Global Classrooms format that will allow students to engage with international scholars and practitioners through a guest speaker series. Guest speakers will provide students with insights into the varied ways international education work is carried out around the globe and expand students' international higher education networks.

This is a Global Classrooms Connections class, developed in partnership with the Office of International Affairs (OIA) to provide opportunities for virtual, project-based, international collaboration.
