Faculty present in Spain

Tom Matyok, Cathryne Schmitz, Hannah Mendoza (Interior Architecture), and Lacey Sloan (Qatar University) presented a paper November 16th at the International Conference of Education, Research and Innovation in Madrid, Spain.   The paper, The Role of Collaboration in Preparing Graduates for Global Citizenship, proposes that in the rapidly changing global landscape, students need the grounding of a liberal education with the fluidity of learning beyond disciplines. Within this process, knowledge borders are destroyed and knowledge flows freely among disciplines without disciplinary ownership. The paper and presentation outlined their collaborative international projects and made recommendations for advancing deep democracy through global citizenship.
