Global Studies is an interdisciplinary Curriculum that brings together diverse perspectives and methods to analyze the complex relationships between local, national, and global structures.
The knowledge and skills that students build in our Curriculum enables the development of effective and innovative responses to some of the world’s most critical challenges -- such as racial and gender injustice, economic inequality, increasing war and conflict, migration and displacement, and environmental crisis. These challenges affect and are affected by a myriad of factors that range greatly in scope: from individual actions, local histories, and grassroots movements to state policies, regional institutions, and international relations. The Curriculum in Global Studies helps students understand and respond to the complexity of such issues by training them in intricate frameworks of analysis drawn from multiple academic disciplines and guided by internationally renowned faculty across more than ten departments at UNC.
