The Global Engagement Studies Institute (GESI) seeks graduate students to lead two workshops with undergraduate students. Very little preparation is necessary; rather expertise in one of the GESI 2023 Summer locations. GESI has traditionally been a study abroad program that provides undergraduates with the knowledge, tools, and experiences to partner with communities to confront shared global challenges.

  • Act as an expert on one specific country's context
  • Provide very basic context and starting resources to understand topics in politics, social life, economics, gender, etc. of a given country
  • Facilitate productive discussion among students during the workshop

    • Bolivia
