You will explore responses and solutions to global challenges by conducting supervised research. Develop research skills with an interdisciplinary cohort of students, investigating topics such as poverty, hunger, health, education, gender, climate change, and economic growth. UNIV 401.32 will be offered in the 2021 winter academic term.
Global Challenges is interesting because it is an inquiry-based — rather than lecture-based — course. It allows me to cultivate my knowledge and take responsibility for my career through my own resources and research projects.
