Exploring Globalization, in its interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary approach, informs readers of different conceptual frameworks for understanding globalization. This section places emphasis on the pedagogy – how to teach about globalization. Approaches to globalization transcend traditional academic disciplinary boundaries; in order to effectively address these complex issues, we need to examine the way we teach students about business, history, economics, language studies, psychology, the arts, geography, politics, and the sciences. What are some effective pedagogical techniques used when teaching about a particular aspect of globalization? How do we address in our classrooms the ever expanding spatial parameters of human encounters? To whose benefit are these encounters? What are the issues that arise? It is the goal of this section to provide pedagogical tools that facilitate the process of exploring globalization.
