several professional schools, the BA currently has over 300 majors
who are studying globalization and transnational phenomena
in conjunction with languages and professional studies, study
abroad, and overseas internship experiences. A Global Studies
Minor allows students in a wide variety of majors to incorporate
international studies into their academic plans. Global Studies
has twelve faculty lines in departmental tenure homes in the
Social Sciences, Humanities, Business and the Arts, including this
position in the Department of Africology. Many more faculty across
