Kylie Broderick, a doctoral candidate and Mellon Fellow in modern Middle East history, organized the history department’s 13th annual Transatlantic Historical Approaches workshop on the theme “(Dis)unity,” which tackled community, solidarity, separation and conflict across contemporary and historical society.īroderick said that the Carolina-KCL workshop offered valuable skills and experience. The workshop themes focused on specific disciplines but all discussed issues of current global interest, such as conflict, decolonization and the environment. “By engaging in these collaborative initiatives, our students not only enhance their academic journey but also develop the essential skills and connections required to shape a better world.” “The exchange of knowledge, perspectives and ideas with an international audience fosters a deeper understanding of topics they’re covering and enhances their ability to navigate complex global challenges,” she said. Noreen McDonald, senior associate dean for social sciences and global programs in the College of Arts & Sciences, said that the workshops are a valuable opportunity for Carolina’s graduate students to develop the necessary skills and experiences to become global leaders. Students from each institution work together to organize the workshops and contribute their scholarship, presenting research papers and offering feedback alongside faculty experts. Since 2010, hundreds of Carolina graduate students have organized annual workshops with KCL through numerous departments in the College of Arts & Sciences. Participating Carolina departments included geography, global studies, history, music, philosophy and religious studies, and 14 UNC-Chapel Hill faculty members joined the students for the workshops in London. This May and June, more than 30 UNC-Chapel Hill graduate students advanced their research and gained valuable career skills by organizing and participating in academic workshops with graduate students at Carolina’s strategic partner, King’s College London.
