全球研究与境外实践创新班：全球研究中心与中文系和外文系联合设置的跨学科教学项目

 

Global Studies Honors Program: A Joint Interdisciplinary Degree Program Developed by CGS with CLL and FLL

 

 

Program Description

创新班简介

Global Studies Honors Program is a joint degree program developed by the Center for Global Studies (CGS) with Department of Chinese Language and Literature (CLL) and Department of Foreign Language and Literature (FLL) in College of Liberal Arts (CLA) started from September, 2014. This cross-departmental and cross-major program represents an interdisciplinary endeavor to enable exploration of questions and answers beyond the scope of any single discipline. Interdisciplinary approaches lead our students across the restraints of disciplinary borders, encouraging an awareness of multiple cultural and global perspectives to actively understand and also embrace the complexities and differences of a diverse world. 

Events from the first decades of the 21st century have shown monumental challenges and opportunities within an unprecedented world-wide interconnectivity, and in order to reap the rewards and shoulder the responsibility, students need preparation for the demands of global citizenship. The Global Studies Honors Program is committed to cultivating among our students global perspectives and interdisciplinary approaches to understanding and analyzing the origins, phenomena and consequences of global flows of peoples, information and media, finance, politics, and technologies.

This cutting-edge program will expand students’ expertise in their major, enhance their analytical skills, better prepare them for working in an internationalized arena, and provide skills for further graduate study, particular in international English-language environments.

The participants in the Global Studies Honors Program will have decisive advantages when competing for overseas study and internship opportunities provided by the college and the university, such as Shantou University’s current exchange programs with Dublin City University, the National University of Ireland—Galway, University of Calgary (Canada), Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, City University of Hong Kong, University of Kentucky etc.

全球研究与境外实践创新班是由全球研究中心与中文系和外文系联合开设的本科专业方向的延伸，于2014年9月启动。这一跨系、跨专业的设定代表了向跨学科的治学方向推进的努力，旨在使我们对问题和解答的探索能够超出传统学科的框架。如果说跨学科的研究途径引领我们的教学穿越学科的边境，全球研究则强化我们对于多重文化视角的意识和感悟，从而能自觉地摆脱以本民族为中心的、本质化的二元对立法，积极地了解并接受当今世界的复杂性与多样化。

21世纪的世界处于各种全球性流动之中，我们的学生应成为在这个快速多变、全球多样化世纪中既能成功运作又能共同肩负责任的全球公民。基于这样的认识，全球研究与境外实践创新班致力于培养学生以多视角和跨学科的方式来认识和分析全球性流动中的人群、信息、金融、政治、科技与环境及其起源、现象与后果。

这一前沿性的跨学科创新班将扩展学生的专业技能，进一步培养学生的各种能力，尤其是严谨的分析能力，为其今后在国际化领域中工作，或在英语语言环境中继续学业的深造打下更扎实的基础。

本创新班的成员将具有更强的竞争力参与文学院的境外交流与实践机会。已建立有境外交换生项目及其它形式的交流和实习的机构包括爱尔兰都柏林城市大学、爱尔兰国立大学（高威）、加拿大卡尔加里大学、香港科技大学、香港城市大学、美国肯塔基大学等。

Program Goals

创新班培养目标

Global Studies Honors Program aims to cultivate responsible global and local citizens who are also equipped with versatile skills and adaptable abilities by providing rigorous and flexible education to develop students’ integrative thinking capabilities, interdisciplinary research abilities, global perspectives, new literacies and effective communication skills in English or other international languages. The training will help students acquire overall understanding of the complex global-local relationships that now exist in the 21st century as well as expertise in various areas and fields, thereby enabling them to meet with challenges and operate successfully in future globalized learning and working environments.

全球研究与境外实践创新班致力于培养能共同承担责任的全球+本土公民和多面多能的复合型人才。我们旨在通过严格而灵活多样的教学培养学生的整合性思维能力、跨学科研究能力、全球性视野、新型素养及熟练高效的英/外语交流技能，使其对21世纪中全球与本土的关联既从整体上又在具体的领域和区域有较精深的认识和把握，从而能在日益发展的全球多样化环境中勇于接受挑战且善于应变，成功运作。

The Center for Global Studies (CGS)

 汕头大学文学院全球研究中心

CGS is an international, interdisciplinary, and multilingual faculty who has been academically trained in North American, Europe and Asian Pacific. Our teaching and research program provides liberal arts electives to the students of the entire university designed to advance academic training, improve thinking skills and habits, broaden intellectual horizons, and enhance perceptual sensitivity. We believe that the liberal arts are an essential part of a college education; therefore we provide a thematically and methodologically integrated academic program of humanities and social sciences that includes reflections upon the natural sciences. We teach with the conviction that an interdisciplinary education in STU should: encourage students to become rigorous independent thinkers; cultivate students to be socially responsible local and global citizens; explore multiple ways of knowing and learning; and enhance students’ study in their major subjects.

As a Humanities and Social Sciences oriented faculty, CGS offers courses in Anthropology, History, Media and Cultural Studies, Philosophy, Political Science, Psychology, Sociology, and Digital Humanities. We emphasize student-centered, active learning in our teaching, and provide our classes in forms of seminar, interactive lecture, and independent study. Our courses all use multi-media and e-learning or hybrid learning to enhance content learning and new literacy training, which has become more and more important to our students’ future. CGS courses are conducted in English, Chinese or bilingual formats.

全球研究中心是一个国际性的，使用多种语言的教学科研单位。中心的教师们都有在北美，欧洲和亚洲太平洋地区的学术界进行学习和工作的经历。我们的教学和研究项目致力于提供面向汕头大学全校学生的各类人文通识选修课程。所有的课程设计都旨在增进学生的学术训练，培养各种思维能力和习惯，拓展人文视野和提高学生在社会文化层面的感知敏锐度。我们认为人文通识教育是大学教育不可或缺的一部分，为此，我们所提供的课程项目整合了人文与社会科学的各种主题和方法也包括对自然科学的反思。我们的教学理念是：汕头大学的跨学科教育应该鼓励学生成为严谨独立的思想者，培养学生成为有高度社会责任感的本土和全球公民，探索多样的学习方式，同时增强学生们各自专业的学习效果。

全球研究中心以人文社科为导向，提供的课程类别包括文化人类学、历史、媒体与文化研究、哲学、政治学、心理学、社会学、数字人文等。我们注重促进以学生为中心的主动学习，教学形式包括研讨课、交互式讲授、翻转课堂以及独立研究项目。我们的课程都采用多媒体和E-Learning或混合式，在帮助学生更有效地学习知识内容的同时，积极培养那些对其未来越来越重要的新素养。我们的教学语言是英语、汉语或双语。

 CGS Symposium

Global Studies Symposium: "Value and Life Meaning" October 2016

Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts. Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the earth all one's lifetime.
Mark Twain
