Global Perspectives
Global Perspectives courses are designed to introduce students to the opportunities and challenges of living in an increasingly globalized world. As the St. Thomas Strategic Plan notes, our world is “marked by social, cultural, political, technological and economic interdependence and integration across local, national and international boundaries”; thus “understanding and integrating global knowledge, perspectives and intercultural competencies is essential to living, working and serving.”
The study of and dialogue with world cultures is central to the idea of a Catholic university. Ex Corde Ecclesiae, for example, calls for an impartial search for truth, “a search that is neither subordinated to nor conditioned by particular interests of any kind.” It exhorts Catholic universities to “become more attentive to the cultures of the world today” and to realize that various diverse cultures provide “a wealth for the whole of the human family.” [Ex Corde Ecclesiae, 7, 45]
A course may satisfy GP and the Integrations in the Humanities requirement; however, a single course cannot satisfy both GP and a core-area requirement (other than Integrations in the Humanities) for the same student.
Students must take four credits.
Some sections of a course may carry the GP flag while others do not. Students should use ClassFinder to determine which course sections satisfy the GP requirement in the term for which you are completing the requirement.
A study abroad course which spends 20 days abroad (including travel days) will automatically meet the GP requirement (such a study abroad course may also meet another core-area requirement).
International students are counted as having satisfied the Global Perspectives requirement.

Wells’s THE ISLAND OF DOCTOR MOREAU; Johann Wolfgang von Goethe's play FAUST, PART I; as well as the film GODZILLA (1954).

Instructor:Sonia Rey-Montejo Ethnicity & Multiculturalism: Afro-Hispanic Literature & Culture (See spreadsheet for Banner-friendly course titles for SPAN 411 and GSPA 540) This specific offering of the course examines 20th and 21st century literary representations of afro-identity in Latin America, the Spanish Caribbean and Equatorial Guinea with special attention to the intersections of race, gender, class, and nationality. We will analyze how the work of art (a literary text, a movie, a painting, a song, to name a few examples) serves as a space for reflection on concepts such as ‘race,’ ethnicity, hegemony, resistance, multiculturalism, and hybridity. Primary readings will be supplemented by relevant historical, critical, and theoretical texts. Along with these readings we will also view documentaries and films that deal specifically with issues of race and ethnicity within these minority communities. Class discussion will focus on how identities are constructed within the space of fiction and other artistic representations. The objective for this course offering is to provide an overview of contemporary literary works by Latin American, Caribbean and Equatorial Guinean writers of African descent. Schedule Details

Course Registration Number:30614 (View in ClassFinder) Credit Hours:4 Instructor:Kimberly J. Vrudny In this course, students will explore approaches to theology that emerge out of diverse cultural contexts. Sections may focus on biblical interpretation, dynamics of church life, mission work, or transnational solidarity through the eyes of the marginalized, or they may focus on efforts to articulate and bear witness to the gospel amid new cultures and historical challenges, according to the instructor’s discretion. Sections may focus on experiences of marginalization and oppression as a source for theological reflection for women (giving rise to feminist/womanist/mujerista theologies, for example), or for people of color or indigenous peoples (giving rise to Latin American, African-American, Minjung, and South African liberation theologies, for example), or for economically exploited classes (also giving rise to liberation theologies). This course will thus provide an opportunity to learn how the global Christian community is gaining fresh insights into the gospel that were missed when the dominant perspective on theology reflected primarily the experience of European men, or to learn how claims by Christians have at various times served both to challenge and to reinforce systems of power and privilege.

MacKenzie What might it mean to speak of “the classical tradition?” What does that include and exclude? And how does it matter to us today? From the ancient Greek gods in their serenity to the howls of the damned in Dante’s vision of the afterlife, whether mythological or theological, the works to be studied engage us in the most fundamental questions about what it means to be human. Such questions will be explored in a chronological framework through extensive readings of representative texts of Western literature in translation from ancient Greece to the Renaissance, including some interactions of the European traditions with ancient or medieval Asian, Mesopotamian, or Middle Eastern literatures. Authors may include Homer, Aeschylus, Sappho, Virgil, Dante, Rumi, Marie de France, and Christine de Pizan. This course fulfills the Historical Perspectives requirement in the English with Literature & Writing major and the English with Creative Writing major. It also satisfies a literature requirement for the English with Professional Writing major and is one of two required options for English with Secondary Education majors (ENGL 221 being the other). In addition, it also satisfies a requirement for the Classical Culture program.

At the end of the course, it will be important for students to have a grasp on the historical timeline, key figures, common texts and practices of each of the traditions covered throughout the semester. The main concern of the course is for students to develop a greater understanding of and appreciation for how religion is embedded in all dimensions of human experience, meaning that religion, despite the emphasis in the West, is not simply a matter of private beliefs, but has implications for our public life together. We will engage both historical and contemporary events as we attempt to understand how religion both shapes and is shaped by the political, cultural and social dimensions of our world.
