Global Futures Curriculum Studio Launch Event
Tuesday, February 17, 2015, 10am–12noon
Riggs Library, Healy Hall
(formerly in Alumni House)

How might new curricular formats and structures help us do more to prepare students to face complex global challenges? How might we create more opportunities for interdisciplinary, project-based teaching and learning? How can we expand the contexts for credit-bearing mentored learning? How might we better prepare students to develop creative as well as critical approaches to messy and complex problems?
Faculty are invited to explore these questions at a launch event for the Global Futures Curriculum Studio. The first of several events this spring, the launch will feature faculty leaders who are developing new forms of courses and collaboratives. Faculty will share their experiences and work in progress in order to generate discussion and brainstorming around the work of the forthcoming Curriculum Studio. Presentations on these pilot course models include:

•  The Studio Collaborative: Bioethics, Science Policy and Rhetoric (Maggie Little, Philosophy; Matt Pavesich, English; Francis Slakey, David Goldston, Science in the Public Interest)

•  GUI2DE Development Incubator (Billy Jack, Economics; James Habyarimana, Public Policy; Mark Maloof, Computer Science)

•  Urban Mosaic and Studio (Brian McCabe, Sociology and Sherry Linkon, English)

•  Social Change and Innovation Lab (Sonal Shah, Hollie Russon Gilman and Michael Chodos, Beeck Center for Social Impact and Innovation)

A collaboration between the Designing the Future(s) of the University <http://links.georgetown.mkt6170.com/ctt?kn=1&ms=MjIxMjk4NjMS1&r=NzE1OTM1MDI5NzQS1&b=0&j=NTAxMzQ1ODE1S0&mt=1&rt=0> and Global Futures<http://links.georgetown.mkt6170.com/ctt?kn=2&ms=MjIxMjk4NjMS1&r=NzE1OTM1MDI5NzQS1&b=0&j=NTAxMzQ1ODE1S0&mt=1&rt=0> initiatives, the Studio will provide a space for faculty to create and experiment with new teaching and learning structures around the most complex global issues and challenges.
