The Global Studies program offers a multidisciplinary major that focuses on important issues such as the origins and implications of diversity and interdependence among nations, cultures, regions and peoples.
Congratulations to Mako Inasaridze, this year’s winner of the Outland Award for the best senior seminar research paper in Global Studies. Mako’s paper, entitled, 'Culture of Informality and Lack of Programmatic Parties in the Georgian Politic System' impressed the committe, who commented the paper "did an exemplary job drawing on political theory, sociology, and history to make its argument about the importance of the post-Society legacy of informal culture on Georgian politics.”
Congratulations also go to Sarah Wagner, recipient of an honorable mention for the Outland Award for the best senior seminar research paper in Global Studies. Sarah's paper is entitled, 'Public Education as National Memory: An analysis of the National Socialist and German Democratic Republic (GDR) legacies.'
