Senior Advisor DA Global Access Network, United States
This roundtable will explore how global learning can be reclaimed as a core civic function of higher education—rather than a peripheral or elite offering. Drawing on the work of DA Global Access Network and other campus-based innovations, participants will discuss how institutions can position global education as an essential strategy for preparing students to lead in a polarized, inequitable, and interconnected world. The session invites educators to explore ways to integrate global learning with civic engagement and inclusive excellence—especially in the face of external pressures and public skepticism. Facilitators will prompt open, collaborative discussion around challenges, strategies, and opportunities to embed global education in the fabric of institutional and democratic renewal.
