Perspectives on Globalization: Globalization is a complex process involving the expanded international movement of goods and people and the internationalization of business and social practices, law, and finance. By using a variety of social scientific approaches to explore human interaction and social change and by studying economic data, students will examine the development of globalization during the last one hundred and fifty years. Such a study will allow the students to appreciate the historical context of globalization, as well as the significant elements and trends of globalization.

Service Learning: Your degree is not enough. The classroom can only offer you one slice of the knowledge you need to succeed. This class will immerse you in a local community to provide you with a new way of learning through service. Success in any field requires not only knowledge of your discipline but skill in taking initiative and fostering interconnectedness with peers and the community. This class builds specifically on this basis by emphasizing the mutual benefits of service for both the community and the students. Components of this course will include weekly journals service activities, interdisciplinary discussions and speakers, and creative, self-designed projects. If you have questions or would like more information, please contact Dr. Robert Kronick at rkronick@utk.edu
