Course Introduction

Welcome to Social Studies 20-1!
It is a pleasure to be teaching you and I look forward to getting to know you better as the semester progresses.
This course is centered around the main concept of Nationalism. To begin this study, it is important to understand that exploring the complexities of nationalism will contribute to an understanding and appreciation of the interrelationships among nation, nationalism, internationalism, globalization, and citizenship and identity. Developing understandings of the various points of view associated with nationalism as well as an appreciation for the perspectives of others will encourage students to develop personal and civic responses to emergent issues related to nationalism.
