COURSE DESCRIPTION

relationships on local, national and global levels. Classrooms can be rich and diverse

environments in which to develop intercultural and global perspectives. With this in

mind, course readings and presentations are intended to support and deepen students

understanding and explorations in relation to the whole Field School experience in India
