Russia, China, and the US have complex histories over the last 300 years; never before has it been so important for these countries to understand one another. Within the context of exploring similarities and differences among Russian, Chinese, and US undergraduate students, CI 1904 is designed to engage you and other domestic and international students in the multiple ways of thinking and doing for the expressed purpose of (1) infusing a global, multicultural, and anti-racist perspective in your undergraduate education and (2) developing person to person international exchanges to broaden your global perspectives through a comparative framework. You will virtually engage with undergraduate students in Russia, Kazakhstan, and China exploring what it means to be a student and adult participant on the world stage. You will have exposure and experiences with international students, international student organizations, service learning, Collaborative Online International Learning (COIL), Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs), Internationalization at Home (IaH), Study Abroad, and other international-based research, learning, or extracurricular processes and opportunities. This course will prepare you to embrace intercultural competency and its impact on your self-awareness, interactions in social settings, success in university course work, engagement in research projects, and career choices. We will also watch and discuss at least one movie each month with participants from each of the countries engaged.
