This roundtable highlights recent faculty initiatives in enhancing global studies in our curriculum, scholarship, and outreach. Examples include global literacy learning in elementary school classrooms, diversification of foreign languages offerings and pedagogies, collaborations across divisions and faculty for Japanese and Chinese studies, grant-funded regional partnerships for a new Brazil program, new exchanges in Jordan and the Middle East, anthropological fieldwork in Cuba, Kenya, and Belize, and ethnomusicology research connecting India and Africa. The panelists will be asked to address the following questions: (1) How do you define the goals and benefits of your international work? (2) What are the most promising results for faculty and students so far? (3) What is the relationship between international education and our commitment to diversity, civic engagement, service learning, and undergraduate research? (4) What future resources are necessary to develop your initiatives? (5) How do you envision the future of international education at BSC?
