Resources

faculty | students | administrators | community

Have resources to share through the CGC? Please contact. Let's talk about how to internationalize thinking and communication with these (and other) opportunities. Internationalizing thinking and communication takes significant tactical and strategic thinking. How can we move from more ethnocentric thinking to more ethnorelative thinking? How can we increase our intercultural communication compentecy or cross-cultural literacy? What's out there that can help us professionally, or is just outright fun? Come chat.

There are many resources or ideas we can talk about through the CGC. For instance, how might you use RadioGarden as you think about global communication? Move from the local to the global and back again. Zoom in, zoom out.
