Global Conversations is a new initiative from the Boston College International Studies Program which connects small groups of students (8-12 total, half from Boston College and half from another university around the world) for informal one-hour conversations about a range of topics that matter to them, and that they choose. Each session will have a specific topic and opening questions drafted by conversation leaders from each university, but can range freely as participants see fit. Most conversations will be held in English, but some will also be conducted in other languages. Initially, conversations will be organized in six major themes:

Global Health: Vincent Sablich <sablichv@bc.edu>
The World Today: Rongwei Zhu <zhuut@bc.edu>
Cultural Connections: Neil Li <liaro@bc.edu>
Environmental Justice: Jane Paulson <paulsoja@bc.edu>
Human Rights in the World: Rachael Fields <fieldsra@bc.edu>
Global Economy: Laura Bianchi <bianchil@bc.edu>
