Each lecture in the series, which begins September 14 and continues through December 7, is free and open to the public. The series is also a one-credit course (ARSC300) that is a core course for the Global Studies major and minor. (Note: Students enrolled in the course will attend an additional class on September 7.)
Taught and moderated by Keerthi Potluri from the Department of English, the course will explore whether a cosmopolitan orientation to the world can help us better understand our obligations to others and how globalization shapes these relationships. Health equity, climate change, migration, citizenship, and more will be addressed in lectures by faculty from across and beyond UD.
All lectures are via Zoom and open to the public – all are welcome. For those not in enrolled in the class who would like to attend the lectures, please RSVP each week to potluri@udel.edu.
