The Global Observer is an bi-annual print and online publication sponsored by the NTC Center for Global Education. We are dedicated to exploring global issues and trends, providing a platform for Tulane students, alumni, faculty, and staff to share diverse perspectives. Each issue centers around a specific theme, aiming to illustrate the similarities and differences across regions, geographies, and citizenships.
Our mission is to enhance cross-cultural awareness and showcase creativity from our community. The Global Observer was first published in Spring 2018 and, after a hiatus due to Covid-19, we are thrilled to announce our return with the Spring 2025 issue.
Call for Submissions: Fall 2024 Issue
Deadline for Submissions: October 18th, 2024
Theme: Global Environment
We invite you to contribute to our upcoming issue focusing on the 'Global Environment.' Whether you are passionate about climate change, intrigued by how different cultures interact with nature, or have unique environmental stories from your hometown or New Orleans, we want to hear from you. Consider the following questions as prompts:
• How does your community interact with the environment?
• What are the broader global trends reflected in your personal experiences?
• How do attitudes towards the environment vary across cultures and regions?
• In what ways are natural environments integral to certain cultures?
• How is climate change impacting different regions disproportionately?
• Is there a unifying duty towards the environment, or are environmental conflicts creating divisions?
We encourage you to share your unique perspectives through writing, art, or photography. This is an excellent opportunity to reflect on intercultural experiences and gain publication credit.
