Special issue on glocalization.
Since 2003, Critical Half, the bi-annual academic journal of Women for Women International, has presented various perspectives on economic, social, and political issues as they relate to women in international development and conflict and post-conflict societies. The journal aims to raise awareness and spark debate among a variety of audiences about the importance of women's participation in development and reconstruction, and to discuss the unique contributions that women can make to these processes.
A journal of transnational affairs
Globalizations seeks to publish the best work exploring new meanings of globalization, bringing fresh ideas to the concept, broadening its scope, and contributing to shaping the debates of the future. The journal is dedicated to opening the widest possible space for discussion of alternatives to a narrow economic understanding of globalization. The move from the singular to the plural is deliberate and implies skepticism of the idea that there can ever be a single theory or interpretation of globalization. Rather, the journal will seek to encourage the exploration and discussion of multiple interpretations and multiple processes that may constitute many possible globalizations, many possible alternatives. The journal is open to all fields of knowledge, including the natural, environmental, medical, and public health sciences, as well as the social sciences and humanities. Globalizations will especially encourage multidisciplinary research and seek to publish contributions from all regions of the world.

Journal of World-Systems Research
1999 special issue on globalization
New Global Studies is the first journal to approach contemporary globalization as a whole, and across disciplinary lines. It draws from history, sociology, anthropology, political science, and international relations to study the past and present of today's globalizing process. Topics include the patterns and local effects of economic globalization, global media networks, preservation of the global environment, transnational manifestations of culture, and the methodology of global studies itself. New Global Studies is an essential resource: a single journal for those who are interested in global affairs and the contemporary history of globalization, both broadly and in depth.

Burch Field Research Seminars offer some of the most adventurous, hands-on, off-campus educational experiences in the world.

Great Decisions is a national program administered by the Foreign Policy Association (FPA). The FPA is a nonpartisan, nonprofit, non-governmental institution that helps Americans gain a better understanding of significant world issues.

School of Public Health's Office of Global Health
The Office of Global Health at the UNC School of Public Health is the organizing unit for global health activities at the School. This organizational structure allows global health to be integrated into each department in the School, rather than as a separate department. This makes interdisciplinary global health research, teaching and practice easier to accomplish and more effective.
As an integral component of UNC's strategy of internationalization, the Study Abroad Office provides access to a wide portfolio of educational opportunities that reflect and support the intellectual, financial and cultural needs of our diverse student body. Participation in a study abroad program encourages the exchange of knowledge and understanding, and promotes enlightened and responsible citizenship and leadership for our state and nation.
