Food (2011-2012)

Food is crucial to our survival, integral to our culture, a determinant of our health, a focus of new technologies, and a commodity affecting GNP and political policy, driving conflict or cooperation in international relations. Whether abundant or scarce, it is part of the art, science, ethics, and labor of our daily lives.

Urban Spaces (2010-2011)

Flows of people, capital, knowledge, information, and culture converge in cities and metropolitan corridors, these spaces, made of complex networks of human and material linkages, host both embedded centers of power and new challenges to existing political authority and territoriality.

Water (2009-2010)

Most of us don't think about water; we turn on a tap and clean water flows readily. Yet for millions of people, water is a constant concern: Will the taps run? Will there be enough water? Will it be clean? Access to water is a global problem which affects essential areas such as health, the food supply, education and the development of local communities.

Energy & Environment (2008-2009)

Some of the biggest global challenges that we face today have to do with providing people with clean, safe, efficient, and affordable energy and promoting sustainable development. With increasing global interdependence we need to tackle these challenges both locally and globally and from a variety of different perspectives.

Responsibility & Empowerment (2007-2008)

This conference was special for many reasons, foremost amongst them being that it was the first cross-campus, interdisciplinary student conference at Drexel  and the first public event sponsored by our newly created Office of International Programs.  The conference consisted of 6 panels: Global Health, Global Social & Economic Trends, Global Business Trends, Global Justice & Human Rights, Global Media and Global Science Technology and Society.
