International Studies
Do you see yourself in a world that extends beyond the Lower Mainland, working and having an impact in Africa, Latin America, Asia, Europe, or the Middle East? We are scholars and teachers who work on real world issues, who seek to bridge the gap between what goes on in the university and what goes on in the places we study.
