Dr. Andrea Grove, assistant professor of political science at ¾¨Ó㴫ý, recently presented "A Different World: Teaching strategies for North-South Courses" at the annual International Studies Association annual meeting in San Diego.
"The massive and widening gap in living standards and way of life between the wealthy North and Global South poses urgent problems for policymakers, scholars, and students – those who will shape the response of the future world – to comprehend," Grove writes. "Our paper, [co-written with Christopher Scholl] discusses pedagogical and values-based questions that arise in teaching about the Global South."
