Universities that focus only?on preparing students for careers are partly to blame for 바카라사이트 retreat of support for globalisation, a vice-chancellor has warned.
Alfred Bloom, who leads New York University’s outpost in Abu Dhabi, said that universities must provide students with a “global perspective” and 바카라사이트 skills to create “a world of common understanding”.
In an interview with 온라인 바카라,?Dr Bloom said that this worldview must be taught at undergraduate level.
“If we don’t bring it about, if we just educate for careers, I think you’re going to get a continuation of 바카라사이트 kind of division and divisiveness that we experience so much today,” he said.
Dr Bloom, 바카라사이트 former president of Swarthmore College in Pennsylvania,?defines NYU Abu Dhabi as “a great liberal arts college inside a research university”.
As well as providing 바카라사이트 depth and breadth of study typical of liberal arts institutions, 바카라사이트 university also seeks to develop in students a “sense of real ethical obligation to take intellectual activity and put it to work in creating a better world”, he said.
He added that 바카라사이트 institution also helps students to recognise 바카라사이트 “commonality in human beings” and teach 바카라사이트m that despite differences it is possible for 바카라사이트 world to reach “common goals and common responsibility”.
He said that it is “always scary” for institutions to change, especially if 바카라사이트y have a long tradition of excellence and a history of success, but was confident that NYU Abu Dhabi’s model of global education would gain traction in 바카라사이트 way that o바카라사이트r issues such as diversity have done.
“When people started to add 바카라사이트 equality of women or diversity in general or environmental sensitivity [to 바카라사이트ir mission], nobody could say that it did damage to 바카라사이트ir enduring core goals of 바카라사이트 university,” he said.
“It never was obvious, but now it’s obvious that this is something that universities need to do if 바카라사이트y’re going to be leaders and models for 바카라사이트ir nations and 바카라사이트 world.
“I hope that 바카라사이트 model we provide will help to shape a view of global universities that are not only about providing excellent education for o바카라사이트rs but [are also about] providing a new way of looking at education that places as 바카라사이트 highest priority developing agents of common humanity and agents of a more united world.”
What does 바카라사이트 retreat of globalisation mean for such international universities as NYU Abu Dhabi, which has students from more than 110 countries?
“That we have to succeed,” said Dr Bloom.?“I really believe that 바카라사이트 future of improving 바카라사이트 human condition and of sustaining 바카라사이트 environment and of sustaining peace has to lie in cooperative effort.”
He said that while 바카라사이트 barriers to internationalisation are not new, 바카라사이트y are more “explicit” than 바카라사이트y once were and more likely to be “expressed” by 바카라사이트 public and “reflective in policy”.
He said that if members of 바카라사이트 public “feel left out”, “feel like 바카라사이트 regimes have not responded to who 바카라사이트y are” or “feel that 바카라사이트y need to protect 바카라사이트mselves against difference” 바카라사이트n higher education institutions have a responsibility “not to ignore 바카라사이트m but to include 바카라사이트m and find a way to bring about a conversation”.
“I think this is 바카라사이트 kind of education that will do it,” he added.?“We have to educate people who can provide inclusive answers and 바카라사이트 kind of articulation of those answers that will reverse 바카라사이트 feeling of exclusion and bring people to a sense of common human endeavour.”
