Welcome to Worlds Imagined – a website centered around the theme of Global Citizenship @ Fairfield University. The purpose of this website is to explore Global- Local Interconnections @ Fairfield University during the 2011-2012 academic year.
We welcome first year students and the entire Fairfield University academic community into an exploration of global citizenship, locally and globally. Browse through these materials that include streaming videos, articles, books, documentaries, websites, and more – all selected to inspire you to imagine, create, and be actors in our world.
How does Fairfield University define a “global citizen”?
A global citizen is a neighbor without respect to political, geographic or other boundaries.
A global citizen has a sense of belonging at many levels of participation and self-realization, from the individual, to family, society, country, the world, and planet earth itself.
Following in the social justice tradition of the Jesuit mission, global citizenship calls for social action in solidarity with the oppressed and excluded.
