from the United Kingdom

We interviewed Prof. Hipkins to learn more about her experience at VIU in the Globalization Program.

“I think that teaching such a diverse group of students from such a wide range of different countries has been the most positive aspect of this experience here for me. It’s been so great to have the students bring their own ideas and experiences to both classes.”

“Overall I would describe my experience as very positive. I have also enjoyed the fact that it is quite a small program and that there are activities that involve the students outside the class, in particular I felt that the plenary event was very successful and a lovely opportunity for students to understand more how courses were connected. So I just appreciate the sort of care in sense of community that we found in the Globalization Program, it’s very exciting. And the island itself is quite utopian in its approach to learning.”
