There is great value in helping students bridge both cultural and
disciplinary divides as we prepare them for the challenges of
citizenship in the twenty-first century. This paper describes,
Global Perspectives, an interdisciplinary course taught by a
faculty member in a technical communication program together
with a faculty member in a political science department. The
course focused on issues of power and communication as they
relate to global issues: world hunger, environmental concerns,
world health, and human rights. Through this course, the
faculty members addressed a major concern in higher education
today: the need to educate students to be global citizens capable
of meeting the serious challenges facing the world in the
twenty-first century. This concern is relevant for all college
students regardless of their majors.
