Solutions for the world’s complex problems require global effort and compromise. Ongoing conflicts in Ukraine, the Middle East, and Africa, climate change, human rights abuses, pandemics, trade wars, and other critical issues will take center stage in this engaging course. Students will learn about the United Nations’ mission and functions, examine how economic, political, physical, and cultural differences shape international relations, and hone their research, writing, and speaking skills as they assume the role of U.N. ambassadors at mock meetings of the General Assembly. Students will leave the class with heightened skills in listening, critical thinking, and collaboration as well as a better understanding of key global topics.
