“How do we learn to understand, examine, and address complicated global problems while working with highly diverse groups of people and perspectives?”

Students will explore the role of socially responsible leadership in a global context in response to this question. This course, conducted by instructors Anne Spear and Natasha Chapman, is a global learning experiment that joins students and faculty from the University of Maryland, Hong Kong Polytechnic University, and the Royal University of Phnom Penh in a virtual, interactive environment.  

Registration for this course is through Testudo.


FAQ: 

How is the class formatted?


The class format will be blended.

Most course activities will be conducted online, but students will be expected to meet in person 6 times out of the semester.  During these sessions, students will interact and learn with students and faculty from Hong Kong Polytechnic University and the Royal University of Phnom Penh (Cambodia) in a virtual classroom environment.  


When will we meet?

Friday Evenings for 2.5 Hours on the following dates:
  • February 2
  • February 9
  • March 2
  • March 9
  • March 16
  • April 20

Why Friday night?

Students at Hong Kong Polytechnic University meet for class on Saturday mornings.  Due to the time differences between the US, Hong Kong (12 hours), and Cambodia (11 hours)  this was the best meeting time for the three of us!


What will we do in-between meetings?

Outside of our 6 meeting times, course activities will be conducted online.  You will complete weekly modules with readings and other interactive learning materials through Canvas/ELMS.  On occasion you will be prompted to interact virtually with others in the class on your own.
