There is great value in helping students bridge both cultural and disciplinary divides as we prepare them for the challenges of citizenship in the twenty-first century. This paper describes, Global Perspectives, an interdisciplinary course taught by a faculty member in a technical communication program together with a faculty member in a political science department. The course focused on issues of power and communication as they relate to global issues: world hunger, environmental concerns, world health, and human rights. Through this course, the faculty members addressed a major concern in higher education today: the need to educate students to be global citizens capable of meeting the serious challenges facing the world in the twenty-first century. This concern is relevant for all college students regardless of their majors.
