Abstract
In this presentation I explore changemaking through internationalization across the curriculum. I begin by presenting changemaking itself as a global concept, emphasizing the interdependence of our world and the UN Sustainable Development Goals as connecting to multiple facets of changemaking in higher education. I then introduce my narrower focus within the presentation, which is changemaking through “internationalization at home.” I define the concept of internationalization at home, giving prominence to its impact through the lenses of DEI and COVID. I then highlight two case studies. One is my course, Human Trafficking, which has a service-learning component that engages with community partners. The second is a faculty-student joint research project on the integration of the UN’s Women, Peace and Security agenda by Des Moines-area organizations. My presentation illustrates how students can and have engaged with changemaking through these endeavors that represent internationalization at home.
