Teaching with Peace & Conflict Studies and/or Global Studies: How to Propose Your Course
Hours: 2
| Would you like to teach for the Peace and Conflict Studies (PACS) or newly approved Global Studies (GS) programs?
This workshop is for faculty who are interested in or in the process of completing a course proposal for inclusion under Peace & Conflict Studies (PACS) or Global Studies (GS).
Participants will spend the first half of the workshop learning about the PACS and GS programs, and receiving an overview of the course proposal process. The second half of the workshop will be devoted to deep engagement with their own courses and how they may relate to the goals of the program.
This workshop is not discipline specific. Courses with the PACS or GS designation may be proposed by faculty in any academic or workforce area, and participants from all disciplines are welcome and encouraged to enroll!
About the programs:
Austin Community College’s Interdisciplinary Studies (INDS) Program recognizes that culture, history, politics, civil society, and religion, as well as art, science and technology are interwoven and interconnected.
The 4 degrees in this program help students develop critical and creative thinking skills that will prepare them to succeed in a complex, interconnected world and in a variety of professions. INDS currently offers four degree paths in American Studies, Global Studies (GS), Mexican American/ Chicano Studies, and Peace and Conflict Studies (PACS).
The PACS program focuses on 1. Human rights and social justice, and 2. Conflict studies and peace processes.
The GS program focuses on 1. The diversity, complexity and interdependence of the world community, and 2. Analyzing the political, economic, social and cultural aspects of current world problems and issues.
Do you have questions? Are you intrigued but aren't sure if this is a good fit or the right time for you? Are you excited to get started? Do you have your proposal almost completed but are needing a little help or motivation to finish it? This workshop is for you!
