Global Studies
is pleased to announce global-e,
a new electronic journal that focuses on research, methodologies,
and teaching global studies (link also available in the header
throughout the Global Studies site). Published on a quarterly
basis, global-e provides a forum for commentary on global
events, processes, and issues. Each edition features brief essays
by leading scholars and practitioners, offering provocative
reflections on a range of topics with the aim of stimulating
discussion among the global studies community. Commentaries
will focus on public issues, theoretical debates, methodological
challenges, and curricular concerns. Our aim is to provoke discussion
and to provide commentators with an opportunity to circulate
their ideas in a new format. The journal is managed by a collaboration
of global studies programs at the Universities of Illinois,
North Carolina,
Wisconsin-Madison, and Wisconsin-
Milwaukee. |

Studies Resource Guide -- or Global
Guide -- a compendium of resources linking researchers
to web sites and sources in the electronic library of the University
of Wisconsin - Madison. Links to the Global Guide can be found
