Abstract

Although I (Knoester) teach at a small regional university in the Midwestern part of the United States, I was fortunate to teach a seminar last summer that included 12 students from a variety of countries, including three from Saudi Arabia, three from the U.S., two from South Korea, one from Japan, and one each from the United Arab Emirates, Lithuania, and Kuwait. With this interesting mix of students, we embarked on a first-year writing-intensive seminar focusing on the topic “Perspectives on Democracy.”
