Among the profound changes of the last quarter century has been the wide recognition of powerful connections among nations, peoples, and ideas throughout the world. As a result, a principal goal of contemporary teaching and learning has been to instill a global perspective within the widest range of areas in which we teach. During this period, institutions of higher learning also became significantly more diverse in welcoming both students and faculty from around the world.

This Conversation will be initiated by three distinguished faculty members who have centered attention in the classroom and beyond to strategies for bringing global perspectives to teaching and learning. They will explore some of the complex questions of teaching — at Harvard and in the field — about peoples, politics, beliefs, and practices both distant and familiar.
