Beyond Borders: Exploring the History of Cornell's Global Dimensions

Since its founding, Cornell University has engaged in many internationally-focused activities. The new book Beyond Borders: Exploring the History of Cornell's Global Dimensions (Cornell Publishing, 2024) reflects on the diversity, accomplishments, and impact of these engagements, both abroad and on campus, through a collection of fifty-eight short chapters, many written by authors who played pivotal roles in this history themselves. Join us for a Chats in the Stacks book talk with the editors of this volume, Royal D. Colle, professor emeritus of Communication, Heike Michelsen, former director of programming at Einaudi Center, Elaine D. Engst, Cornell University archivist emerita, and Corey Ryan Earle, visiting lecturer in the American Studies Program. The editorial team will discuss this collection of vignettes which takes the reader around the world with agricultural researchers, anthropologists, medical practitioners, economists, civil engineers, Peace Corps volunteers, and more, while also exploring the vital role of international studies and language programs on campus, as well as in Cornell’s library and museum collections. Beyond Borders shows how through the education of generations of global citizens, innovative research, and mutually beneficial relationship-building Cornell University has influenced the world.
