Introduction
Global Ties That Bind combines the subject-matter expertise and talents of civil society and academia to engage in knowledge sharing between ASU and our partners - the University of Pretoria and In Transformation Initiative in South Africa - on common issues that bind the US and South Africa.This program aims to empower the people of South Africa and the US in their pursuit of human rights, democratic ideals, access to justice and peaceful co-existence.
The program is based on UN SDG 16. Students in this program will complete the following: two HON upper division courses (6 credits), honors thesis project and an immersive study and research trip to South Africa, which will be reciprocated by an exchange trip by our University of Pretoria counterparts to ASU. The courses and thesis project will be in collaboration with University of Pretoria faculty and honors students.
