Center for Global Humanities Seminar Series

What Will You Learn?

In the CGH Global Humanities Seminar Series course students learn to:

• Apply a range of relevant theoretical and/or explanatory perspectives using appropriate investigative and analytical methods to interpret and critically analyze source material.
• Identify, describe, and interpret diverse forms of human cultural production and assess how they shape and are shaped by global, cultural, and historical contexts. 
• Read and interpret scholarly works representing a range of disciplines outside their primary area(s) of study.
• Express the relevance of course texts to their lives, communities to which they belong, and intended future professions.
• Demonstrate the intellectual curiosity and openness to new ideas and cultures necessary to be a responsible global citizen.
• Develop the intellectual confidence and maturity to discuss their ideas with classmates, visiting scholars, and members of the general public.

Twice a year, the center honors students who have completed two (or more) semesters of the course, thus earning CGH Scholar designation.

Awardees are called to the front of the lecture hall at the start of our final public events in December and April and commended for dedicating themselves to becoming informed global citizens through their engagement with the course. They are presented with a framed certificate, signed by the UNE president and CGH director, honoring their achievement.

Earning this distinction indicates to graduate programs and future employers that CGH Scholars are well-rounded individuals committed to carrying into their future lives the broad perspective they’ve worked hard to cultivate during their time in the center.
