2001 Global Studies Summer Institute

When we try to pick out anything by itself, we find it hitched to everything else in the Universe. -- John Muir

The Global Studies Summer Institute (GSSI), sponsored by the Center for International Education (CIE), is a four-day program intended to provide K-12 educators with information and resources for teaching stude nts about contemporary international issues and their practical applications for the classroom.  

The 2001 GSSI, "Understanding the Face of Globalization:  Implications for the Classroom and Beyond," examined the history and origin of the "globalization" concept and explored globalization's relationship to the environment, the economy, politics, human rights, culture, technology, and development.
