2021 Symposium
A Vision of Global Resilience
The 2021 Atlanta Global Studies Symposium was held virtually from April 20 - 23, 2021. The annual symposium brought together educators, researchers, corporate, civic, and community partners, as well as graduate and undergraduate students, to discuss topics of global and local significance and to foster interdisciplinary collaboration across universities.
The symposium connected audiences to experts and research on various topics, including social justice, global health, Race Beyond Borders, international education, diplomacy, and peace education. The goals of the 2021 Symposium were to explore the lessons the past year has taught us about global interdependence, to celebrate our individual and collective resilience, and to support each other and the communities we serve through interdisciplinary collaboration.
