"UW Global" Community Conversations

A monthly gathering for faculty who are engaged or interested in global work, UW Global is pleased to invite faculty from across the University of Washington who are engaged in or curious about global work to join a new monthly gathering: UW Global Community Conversations, This is not a lecture series. It is a welcoming and conversational space to meet colleagues, share food and drink, and connect around the many ways global perspectives show up in our teaching, research, and engagement. Whether your work involves international research, global learning, study abroad, visiting scholars, or exploring global issues locally, this is a place to get to know one another, exchange ideas, and build community. Each month, we’ll feature a brief, informal spotlight such as a faculty project, a new global initiative, or an international guest on campus to spark conversation. The heart of the gathering, however, is the conversation itself: time to talk, listen, make connections, and learn what others across campus are… Event interval: Single day event. Campus room: UW Club. Accessibility Contact: Maddie MacMath. Event Types: Meetings. Academics. Event sponsors: UW Global. Target Audience: UW faculty.
