Mellon Foundation Grant&nbsp;<\/b><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The Mellon <i>Renewed Purpose<\/i> Grant provides support for initiatives that deepen understandings of internationalism and multiculturalism and bring them into closer relationship. The original proposal to the Mellon Foundation notes that \u201cRegrettably, the international and multicultural tenets of Macalester\u2019s mission have for too long been seen as individual \u2018pillars\u2019 that are sometimes in conflict and competition rather than as intertwined and interdependent values.\u201d The proposal also notes that \u201c[d]uring the Institute\u2019s infancy we focused our efforts primarily on internationalism and civic engagement\u201d; \u201c[u]ltimately, concerns that multiculturalism did not have an equal presence in the IGC reflected a broader split on campus between internationalism and multiculturalism.\u201d The grant supports work to \u201cbring multiculturalism and internationalism together in a substantive way that deepens our understanding and commitment to both. Our goal, and our challenge, is to exemplify the connectedness of multiculturalism and internationalism on campus and thereby ground the understanding in continual deliberation.\u201d The proposal also connects work on internationalism and multiculturalism to \u201cconcepts of difference and diversity. As these are connected to issues of power and privilege, our community, as a whole, must continually engage with these ideas to support not only specific courses and pedagogy but also broader practices and policies on campus, as these may affect populations differentially.\u201d The grant provides opportunities to \u201cbring diversity and inclusion discussions\u201d together with the IGC\u2019s work to \u201cemphasize all elements of the mission\u2026 academic excellence, multiculturalism, internationalism, and service to society.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><b>Grant Initiatives:<\/b><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><i>Collaborative Teaching<\/i><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>Support for faculty from two different disciplines to develop and teach a course together related to the Internationalism and U.S. Identities and Differences general education requirements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>2017-2018<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Erik Davis, Religious Studies, and Khaldoun Samman, Sociology. \u201cFascism: Pathways of the Revolutionary Right\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>2018-2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Erik Larson, Sociology, and Katie Phillips, History. \u201cAmerican Indians and Global Indigeneity,\u201d USID, INTL<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Erika Busse-C\u00e1rdenas, Sociology, and Cl\u00e1udia Tatinge Nascimento, Theatre and Dance. \u201cThe Festival of Nations: Sociology of (Multi)Cultural Performance\u201d<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Wessam Elmeligi, Classics, and Ernesto Ortiz-D\u00edaz, Spanish &amp; Poruguese. \u201cHyphenating Identities: Multiculturalism in Al-Andalus and the Americas\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>2019-2020<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Penny Geng, English, and Mark Mazullo, Music. \u201cAdaptations: Shakespeare, Verdi, and the Politics of Art,\u201d INTL<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>2020-2021<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Mary Heskel, Biology, and Christine O\u2019Connell, Environmental Studies. \u201cGlobal Change Biology,\u201d INTL<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Jess Pearson, History, and Britt Abel, German Studies.

This group examined how efforts around internationalism and multiculturalism are shaped by their institutional structure. The group looked at the history of internationalism and multiculturalism at Macalester, considering how specific conceptualizations of each were connected to the formation of the Institute for Global Citizenship. The relationships between concepts and structures led to the discussion of creating opportunities for the campus to develop deeper understandings of the particular conceptualizations of internationalism and multiculturalism, and how these shape efforts around diversity, equity, and inclusion. A prevailing conceptualization of both internationalism and multiculturalism that focused on cross-cultural understanding hinders the understanding of relations of power that structure dynamics between racial groups, for example.\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Ruthann Godollei, Art &amp; Art History<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Bill Hart, Religious Studies<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Joanna Inglot, Art &amp; Art History<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Scott Legge, Anthropology<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Sedric McClure, DML<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Kevin Morrison, Center for Study Away\/Annan IGC<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Luyen Phan, International Student Programs<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Jo\u00eblle Vitiello, French and Francophone Studies<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Olga Gonz\u00e1lez, facilitator, Annan IGC, Anthropology<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><i>Working Groups<\/i><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>2019-2020, 2020-2021, 2021-2022. <i>Community-Based Scholarship &amp; Teaching<\/i>.
