Centers, Institutes, Schools and Museums with Anthropology Faculty that Emphasize Public Outreach

Institute of Global Studies

Through the Institute, the community of scholars at the University has the opportunity to interrogate sets of interrelated processes forming today's increasingly interdependent world. This means examining political, economic, cultural, and social structures which impact many different actors, from local communities to nation-states to transnational and global businesses and social movements. The Institute, a Title VI National Resource Center at the University of Minnesota, informs, educates and organizes professional development opportunities for K-16 teachers on global and international topics. The Institute for Global Studies is dedicated to the teaching of international studies and increasing global awareness.

Interdisciplinary Center for the Study of Global Change

The Center includes The MacArthur Interdisciplinary Program on Global Change, Sustainability and Justice as well as the Institute for Social, Economic, and Environmental Sustainability.  The research, education, and outreach goals of ISEES include generating policy options for moving communities toward sustainable conditions as well as facilitating exchanges.  Its Safety First Initiative is proposing to make human and ecological safety the first priorities in the production and use of genetically modified organisms and derived products. This "Safety First" approach combines the initiative of business with government and consumer and public interest group involvement in shaping, reviewing, and overseeing the formulation and implementation of scientifically reliable and socially credible safety standards.

Center for Bioethics

The mission of the Center is to advance and disseminate knowledge concerning ethical issues in health care and the life sciences. The Center's faculty and associates provide advice to policy makers at the state and national levels as well as serve on state and national public policy committees (e.g. Presidential and Congressional task forces). The Center has been recognized for its effort to bring bioethics to the attention of the public through offerings such as: The Bioethics Examiner with a circulation of more than 7,000 worldwide, a web site with up-to-date information on bioethics issues, appearances on television, radio, and in print media, and an Ethics Matters column on CNN Interactive (www.cnn.com/health).
