In an interconnected world, the ability to navigate diverse cultures, think critically about the people and ideas we encounter, and reflect meaningfully on our experiences is more crucial than ever. Welcome to the Global Learning Blog at Saint Mary’s University!

Here, we aim to create a vibrant space for our university community – students, faculty, and staff alike – to delve into the fascinating complexities of culture, cultivate a deeper sense of cultural awareness, and sharpen the critical thinking and reflection skills that are foundational to global citizenship and lifelong learning.

This page offers a combination of original entries (thought-provoking pieces written by our Global Learning staff and guest contributors from within our university) and curated content (external resources including blog posts, podcasts, and articles) selected to spark discussion and foster a community eager to engage with diverse perspectives and challenge assumptions. Whether you're planning to study abroad or simply keen to expand your understanding of the world and your place within it, we hope you'll find inspiration and valuable takeaways here.
