Mission Statement

GALACTIC harnesses new media to inspire global engagement rooted in local knowledge. In virtual and face-to-face classroom settings, GALACTIC foregrounds cultural practitioners: artists, healers, cooks, and storytellers as teachers and as instrumental to an understanding of cultural diversity, conflict, and even resolution. Offering professional development workshops, we design local-centric curricula at the intersection of arts, indigenous leadership, cultural heritage policy, decolonization, compassionate listening and conflict management. Bridging local cultures is out of this world! GALACTIC is a collaboration among Navajo Technical University School of Dine' and Law Studies, Indiana University Center for The Study of the Middle East and Center for the Study of Global Change, The Ohio State University's Living Jerusalem: Ethnography and Blog-Bridging in Disputed Territory and Smithsonian Center for Folklife and Cultural Heritage.

Interdisciplinary Seminar on Issues and Approaches in Global Studies (IU)

INTL-I701 Interdisciplinary Seminar on Issues and Approaches in Global Studies*
Fall Semester 2014 ‹ Section 30363
Seminar Room, 201 N. Indiana Ave.
Thursday 9:00 a.m. - 11:30 a.m.

The overall goal of this seminar is to help graduate students generate a global research framework that incorporates various disciplinary perspectives and complements and strengthens students¹ disciplinary and regionally specific academic interests.  The seminar is designed to stimulate students to think critically about a broad range of theoretical and methodological issues involved in global research, including empirical methods, ethics, qualitative and quantitative approaches, tracking the intersections of the global and local, and global research designs from different disciplinary perspectives. In addition to providing an analytical framework for global scholarship, the seminar also creates an interdisciplinary community of scholars and as such places a strong emphasis on attendance and participation, peer review, and presenting critical analyses in a scholarly manner.
Graduate students from a wide range of disciplines and professional schools, including MA students and those who are working on preliminary dissertation research designs, will benefit from this interdisciplinary seminar. Students will be required to present a critical evaluation of a dissertation of their choice, compile an annotated bibliography, develop a global framework for approaching their academic interests, and generate a preliminary research design to explore global phenomena.
