Tufts and the World Working Group
Membership: The Tufts and the World working group was chaired by Aviva Must, Professor and Chair of Public Health and Community Medicine. Detailed member information is listed below.
Guiding Questions:
- Tufts University has significant educational and research activities in international studies and internationalization. Should we encourage significant new international activities? If so, what kind? Should we encourage greater focus on a specific set of countries or regions to create a unique profile for the university?
- Are students and researchers from various backgrounds and research areas provided with similar access to international studies and internationalization opportunities?
- What barriers exist to international studies and internationalization?
- What should we stop doing, or start doing very differently, if we aim to achieve our globalization goals?
