As the trend of \u0026lsquo;Globalizing\u0026rsquo; Business, Higher Education and other sectors rapidly accelerates, there are many missed opportunities due to the lack of synthesis of the two approaches. This dichotomy often prevents us from understanding the relationship between local and global factors that impact our ability to engage constituencies holistically. The integration of these approaches better highlights the historical context and inequities created from power dynamics that must be considered in order to effectively navigate intercultural realities in our world today.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003ERegistration Required at\u003C\/strong\u003E oie.gatech.edu\/staff-workshop\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":"","field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"Co-sponsored by the Office of International Education, Institute Diversity, Center for the Enhancement of Teaching and Learning, \u0026 Student Diversity Programs"}],"uid":"27244","created_gmt":"2018-02-22 17:01:22","changed_gmt":"2018-02-22 17:01:22","author":"Sara Warner","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","field_event_time":{"event_time_start":"2018-03-26T10:00:00-04:00","event_time_end":"2018-03-26T13:00:00-04:00","event_time_end_last":"2018-03-26T13:00:00-04:00","gmt_time_start":"2018-03-26 14:00:00","gmt_time_end":"2018-03-26 17:00:00","gmt_time_end_last":"2018-03-26 17:00:00","rrule":null,"timezone":"America\/New_York"},"extras":[],"groups":[{"id":"322561","name":"Student Diversity Programs"},{"id":"1269","name":"Student Life"}],"categories":[],"keywords":[{"id":"177209","name":"Diversity and Inclusivity Month 2018"}],"core_research_areas":[],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[{"id":"10377","name":"Career\/Professional development"}],"invited_audience":[{"id":"78761","name":"Faculty\/Staff"}],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003EStephanie Ray\u003Cbr \/\u003E\r\nstephanie.ray@studentlife.gatech.edu\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n","format":"limited_html"}],"email":[],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}}}
