There,\nboth the president and the guest speaker touch on the subject of using the next\nfour years to become a liberally educated student and a \u201cglobal citizen\u201d \u2014\nsomething that Transy values deeply.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What exactly does it mean to be a global citizen? At\nconvocation, first-year students are meant to interpret that term and determine\nhow they\u2019re going to embody it over the next four years. Though it may seem a\ndaunting task, psychology professor Iva Katzarska-Miller explained to me how\nTransy uses its administration and programs, as well as its curriculum, to\npromote an overall sense of global citizenship on campus. In other words,\nwithout realizing it, Transy students are constantly being influenced to become\nglobal citizens in both the classroom and their outside opportunities.&nbsp; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Katzarska-Miller explained how she uses the idea of being a\nglobal citizen in her classes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t explicitly tell the students that we try to change\ntheir perspective,\u201d she says. But, she does encourage her students\u2019 practice of\nbeing global citizens via her class assignments. In Psychology of\nGlobalization, for example, she assigns a paper that asks her students to live\na day as global citizens. Meanwhile, in Cultural Psychology, she asks her\nstudents to pick an event, choose two perspectives from different cultural\nspaces and describe their findings. Though both of these assignments seem easy\nenough to complete, they have a deeper purpose of encouraging the practice of\nvalues that are crucial to being a global citizen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIn the research I do, we define global citizenship as\nawareness, caring, embracing diversity, promoting social justice and\nsustainability and a sense of responsibility to act,\u201d Katzarska-Miller\nexplains. She argues that what encourages global citizenship the most on\nTransy\u2019s campus is the act of awareness. Awareness is an important aspect of\nbeing a global citizen because \u201cglobal citizenship is identifying that we are\nnot all identical and realizing that other citizens do not live the same way I\ndo.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I asked her why she believes that becoming a global citizen\nis so important for students on this campus. She again emphasized the\nimportance of being aware, suggesting that with the world facing threats of\nnationalism and prejudice, global citizenship is needed now more than ever. She\nadded that, \u201cBased on research in education on what can promote global\ncitizenship on campus, Transy is already doing many of those things,\u201d making\nreference to the curriculum\u2019s foreign language requirements, as well as its\nstudy abroad and service learning opportunities.&nbsp; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As a senior graduating this May, I\u2019ve begun to look back at my own convocation. I can understand the intimidation that first-year Pioneers feel when they are officially welcomed to the university and introduced to the ideas of a liberal arts education and what it means to be a global citizen. However, I&#8217;ve learned throughout my time here that I was never alone in determining how to be a global citizen. Instead, I\u2019ve realized that on Transy\u2019s campus, global citizenship works hand in hand with a liberal arts education. They work together to complete the same goal by encouraging students to become more globally aware. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>About the Author: <\/em><\/strong><em>Annebelle Klein is a senior double majoring in writing, rhetoric, and communication and French<\/em>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What exactly does it mean to be a global citizen? <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":25,"featured_media":9461,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_relevanssi_hide_post":"","_relevanssi_hide_content":"","_relevanssi_pin_for_all":"","_relevanssi_pin_keywords":"","_relevanssi_unpin_keywords":"","_relevanssi_related_keywords":"","_relevanssi_related_include_ids":"","_relevanssi_related_exclude_ids":"","_relevanssi_related_no_append":"","_relevanssi_related_not_related":"","_relevanssi_related_posts":"","_relevanssi_noindex_reason":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[138],"tags":[139],"feeds":[],"class_list":["post-9417","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-third-broadway","tag-third-broadway"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.3 (Yoast SEO v27.3) -
