Overview: The Council for the Study of Global Learning is a collection of scholars examining global citizenship. We define global citizenship as awareness, caring, and embracing cultural diversity, while promoting social justice and sustainability (regardless of borders), coupled with a sense of responsibility to act.
Vision: We seek to foster global citizenship identity in educational settings and model the process of identification with a global citizenship identity.
Mission: The Council’s mission is to increase identification with global citizenship identity. Through interventions, classroom activities, and environmental change we empirically examine how individuals move from an ethnocentric worldview to a global citizen worldview. We plan to disseminate findings through academic journals, and provide resources developed by the Council on the Internet, free of charge, to aid teachers who wish to incorporate global views in their classrooms. In effect, we seek to understand identity processes concerning global citizenship and aid individuals to promote this worldview.
Materials: We have posted the measures used to assess (normative environment, global awareness), identification, and outcomes (intergroup empathy, valuing diversity, social justice, environmental sustainability, intergroup helping, responsibility to act) of global citizenship on the psychology scales page (including how to construct the model of antecedents and outcomes, Link). We have also posted an LIWC dictionary that counts words related to global citizen identity (Link).
