GLOBAL STUDIES PROGRAM

WATKINSON SCHOOL

2021 Global Studies Diploma Candidates

Summer Reading- 2021

Our work in Global Studies is deeply rooted in promoting human rights. Caste: The Origins of Our Discontents by Isabel Wilkerson will provide important historical context to understand the role of race, class, and caste in society.

Our work with the book and visiting speakers throughout the year will allow us to apply an anti-racist and inclusive lens to the work we do now and in the future.

Global Studies Events

"An overarching theme throughout all of the events I attended this trimester seemed to be a call for love and compassion for all, and a plea for open dialogue and respect for all viewpoints." Sam V '18, Global Studies Diploma Student

The goal of the Global Studies Program is to develop active, engaged global citizens. To expose ourselves to new ideas and opinions, we host speakers at Watkinson School, Skype with experts around the world and travel to talks, plays, conferences and more.
