Disclaimer This presentation reflects the perspective of scholar-practitioners from the United States of America. International Studies and Global Education are discussed in light of what is happening in the USA and not what is happening globally.

Don’t miss the point: It’s not about factoids. • “The greatest challenge…is to cope with how to transform information into knowledge” (Carlos Fuentes). • “The question facing educators…is less about the mastery of world geography or current events or any topical factoids…than about integrating and synthesizing exponentially increasing amounts of information in a way that addresses issues in civic and global life” (Kagan & Stewart, 2004). (Kagan & Stewart, 2004)
What’s your paradigm? We are the same. (global studies) -vs- We are different. (international studies)
