The Bachelor of Global and International Studies (BGInS) degree is offered jointly by the Faculty of Public Affairs and the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences for students interested in learning and engaging with the world in which we live. The BGInS program is both multidisciplinary, in that it introduces students to the many different disciplinary perspectives on global and international studies, and interdisciplinary, in that it places these disciplinary perspectives in critical dialogue with each other. Completion of a BGInS degree will allow students to pursue a wide range of career options related to global and international studies, including graduate school in a number of disciplines. <br><br>Students will begin the Specialization in Global Literatures with a core course on ''Literature in Global Context.'' They will then choose from a variety of course offerings in African, Caribbean, South Asian, Indigenous, diaspora, and transnational literatures and theory that will give them the opportunity to investigate how literatures around the world have been shaped by cultural encounters in an age of increasing global interconnectedness. Students will learn not only about the rich historical traditions of various world literatures but also the unique ways in which writers in former colonies, in the diaspora, or circulating in between, articulate experiences of displacement as well as new forms of belonging. At the heart of this Specialization will be questions of cultural translation and mis-translation that have become a key feature of our contemporary world.
