A neuroscience major discovers how studying Roman history, psychology, and art abroad in Florence enriched her scientific perspective in unexpected ways.

This is a collaborative course offered by the University of Maryland (UMD), the University of Thessaly in Greece, and the University of Hong Kong (HKU) to explore psychological and educational research methods in a global context. Participants in this graduate and undergraduate Global Classroom will engage in hybrid (in-person and virtual) cross-cultural, project-based learning to deepen their understanding of research design, develop proposals or manuscripts, and strengthen critical thinking in the study of education and psychology. Guest lecturers from the Jacobs Foundation Research Fellows community will share their international perspectives and research in learning and child development, further enriching the global dialogue.
