Founded in 1965, SFU has become Canada's leading comprehensive university with vibrant campuses in British Columbia's largest municipalities: Vancouver; Burnaby; and Surrey. SFU has deep roots in partner communities throughout the province and around the world. It is a place where innovative education, cutting edge research, and community outreach intersect. The university’s vision is to be Canada's leading engaged university. The International Studies major is for students who see themselves as being part of a world that extends beyond where they currently live. Students motivated to think and work internationally, in pursuit of a more peaceful and just world. Curious to learn about societies, economies, and political systems in Africa, Asia, Latin America, Europe, or the Middle East. International Studies majors are a community of scholars, teachers, and students who work on real world issues: seeking to bridge the gap between what goes on in the university and what goes on in the places that they study. Mostly, they work on regions facing significant challenges, whether it be long-standing conflicts, a lack of stable institutions that can protect human rights, or institutions that maintain or deepen economic inequality and poverty. Faculty and students believe that we all have a role to play in resolving these issues, not as members of the so-called “developed” world, but as partners with individuals, grassroots organizations, and communities across the planet that are taking up the work of peace-building and human development. www.sfu.ca  Simon Fraser University Comments are closed.
