Dear Sisters: Alumna may submit as well 💙
The Gordon-Zeto Center for Global Education is calling for submissions for a new book of essays on international studies at Spelman College.
"Spelman Going Global!: Cross-Cultural Reflections of Students, Faculty and Staff," will include 30 essays focused on moments, encounters and experiences that shaped and impacted the study abroad or international excursion experiences of the College’s faculty, staff and students.
‘Dimeji Togunde, Ph.D., vice provost for global education and professor of international studies at Spelman, will edit the collection along with Krishna Bista, Ph.D., professor of higher education at Morgan State University and founding editor of the "Journal of International Students."
"COVID-19 temporarily halted the momentum of our ascension in global education at Spelman, and has tested our resilience in so many ways," said Dr. Togunde. "We remain, however, undaunted in our pursuit of academic excellence. As we embrace the rays of hope in reclaiming our lives from the disastrous impacts of the pandemic, it is important that we produce a book that captures the stories and involvement in global studies of those at Spelman prior to the pandemic."
International and domestic faculty and staff who have led students abroad, as well as faculty, staff, current students and alumnae who have lived or studied abroad, are eligible to submit 1,000 to 1,500-word essays online by 11:59 p.m. EST, Thursday, Sept. 30, 2021.
