Global Awareness: Understanding the Impact of Cross-cultural Values
Presented in the UAB Center for Teaching and Learning for UAB faculty by Melissa Hawkins, Ph.D.

Join this interactive session to learn about the most common values and differences that cause conflict across global cultures. Since values are so deeply oriented within us, they affect our behavior in profound, often unconscious, ways. Learn how several general U.S. cultural values differ from the cultures of some of our most populous international student groups and consider the impact of this information on the classroom.

Lunch will be provided on a first come first serve basis.

Please note: The UAB Center for Teaching and Learning (CTL) presents workshops on teaching practice for UAB faculty (including adjunct instructors), pre-approved graduate students who are currently under contract to teach academic courses at UAB, and teaching staff. Academic advisors and staff who work directly with students are also approved to come to non-teaching focused workshops. CTL workshops are not intended for UAB graduate or undergraduate students.
