Description: 

In the contemporary global landscape, most social issues extend beyond national borders, prompting us to adopt a transnational perspective that reexamines them through historical and geopolitical approaches. This session offers a platform for scholars, instructors, and activists to collaboratively explore the potential and challenges of integrating a transnational perspective into classroom discussions on social issues.
