PUTTING COMMUNITY BACK IN THE COMMUNITY
COLLEGE: THE CASE FOR A LOCALIZED AND
PROBLEM-BASED CURRICULUM

Downloaded By: [Hanson, Chad] AC: 32:36 * November 2009

Department of Sociology, Casper College, Casper, Wyoming, USA
In this article the move toward international education in the community
college is questioned. Who benefits when two-year schools are globalized'?
An alternative to the current international approach is suggested.
The case is made that community colleges serve the public interest when
curricula are centered on solving problems unique to the communities
that host and support them.

I Started teaching sociology at two-year schools during the decade
of the 1990s, a time when the American Association of Community
Colleges (AACC) was encouraging educators to adopt international
curricula (Heelan, 2001). Their efforts were successful. Based on
the results of a 2001 survey returned by 307 institutions, AACC
researchers Blair, Phinney, and Phillipe reported that “82 percent
of the colleges had international components in their courses, com­
pared with 40 percent in 1995” (2001,.p. 1). In addition, “The number
of colleges with international business programs grew from 23 per­
cent in 1995 to 60 percent in 2000” (Blair, Phinney, &amp; Phillipe,
2001, p. 1).
The 1990s were watershed years in the move to globalize commu­
nity colleges, and the momentum continues into the new century.
Speakers visit campuses to promote the idea, colleges host confer­
ences on the subject, and grant money allows instructors to add
international components to their courses (Cissell &amp; Levin, 2002).

Faculty leaders and administrators both remain committed to
fashioning two-year colleges as institutions with an international
flavor (King, 1990; Emerson &amp; Newsom, 1995; Romano, 2002;
Farnsworth, 2006).
In the beginning, I was drawn to the idea. Sociologists like to
think of themselves as worldly characters, and as such we are
susceptible to movements that sound even vaguely cosmopolitan.
But as I began learning about the effort to globalize two-year
schools, the initiative began to seem inconsistent with my approach
to teaching. And as I developed a better understanding of the move­
ment toward an international curriculum, I discovered that the
move is out of step with the larger goals of social science or higher
education.
In the social sciences, international perspectives and cross-cultural
comparisons are commonplace. They are regular parts of our courses.
Sociologists have long understood that students learn about them­
selves by comparing their beliefs and values to those of others. We
call the strategy “seeing the strange in the familiar” (Macionis,
2007). We view American life through the lens of other cultures.
For example, in courses on crime and delinquency, the difference
between American and Japanese parenting techniques are often
discussed. The Japanese approach to discipline includes a practice
similar to “grounding,” although when Japanese kids are grounded
they are not allowed to be inside the home with their parents or sib­
lings (Barkan, 2004). By contrast, American children conceive time
spent indoors as an infringement on their personal freedom, raising
questions about how time spent with family came to be construed
as punishment.
Comparisons such as these abound in social science, but in the
push to globalize public colleges, the intent has not always been to
use the perspectives of others to cast illuminating light on our own
norms or conventions. In particular, supporters of the new curricu­
lum are reluctant to use the views of others to raise questions about
the actions or behaviors of international businesses (King, 1990). As
I listened to speakers, and later as I read authors extolling the virtues
of globalization, it became clear that the intent is to “shape student
thinking primarily with employers in mind” (Farnsworth, 2006,
p. B17). In the new curricula, little attention is paid to unfair labor
practices or political movements meant to strengthen environmental
laws. Similarly, global education advocates are seldom interested
in test questions or in-class activities centered on the practice of
outsourcing U.S. jobs or the techniques corporations use to avoid
paying taxes.

The move to adopt an international curriculum is driven by freemarket values. The movement’s origins stem, not from social philoso­
phy or research on student development, but from needs that grew
out of human resource departments in the private sector. Tow
explains, “Corporate Personnel Directors say their companies need
managers and employees with greater international knowledge and
experience,’’ and in response to the demand for employees familiar
with the language and customs of others, community colleges altered
their curricula to curry favor with companies trading across national
borders (2001, p. 30).
The upshot of the effort has been a surge of funds from govern­
ment agencies and corporations, both attuned to the idea that col­
leges contribute to the economy by training students to use skills of
value in the labor force (Stoessel, 2002). The move toward interna­
tional curricula has been lucrative for colleges (Levin, 2001). But in
the rush to transform the community college into a global institution,
staff and faculty have become inclined to adopt a naive, uncritical,
almost cartoon-like appreciation for all things international. For
example, in a 2001 article for the AACC’s Community College Jour­
nal, Farnsworth suggested that international education holds the
potential to change students to the point that their experience
matches that of Dorothy, the main character in The Wizard of Oz.
He recounts the moment in the picture when Dorothy is lifted away
from her community by a tornado:
Dorothy is ripped away from the sparse black and white landscape of
rural Kansas by the tornado. She spins through a whirlwind of confus­
ing sights and sounds, drops with a jarring thud somewhere comple­
tely different. With her dog Toto under her arm, she hesitantly
opens the monochrome door of the old farmhouse, and with a slight
gasp... walks into the glorious Technicolor world of Oz (Farnsworth,
2001, p. 10).

Farnsworth goes on to connect the imagery of Oz to education, by
suggesting that “Part of the learning process—of becoming an ‘edu­
cated’ person—now must involve opening the lives and minds of stu­
dents to the wonders of the new Oz’’ (2001, p. 11). Societies marked
by free-trade agreements and inexpensive consumer goods are the
new Oz to which the American Association of Community Colleges
hopes to orient students. However, global education of the kind pro­
moted by the AACC lacks a sustained critique of world trade; and if
the dominant approach to curricula lacks a critical component, the

�1002

framework cannot facilitate critical thinking or critical literacy on the
part of students (Shor, 1992).
In the literature published by the AACC, societies and cultures
increasingly shaped by the advance of global capital are conceived as
Oz-like worlds of “glorious Technicolor,” but the image of magnificence
and wonder stands in contrast to the picture of globalization painted by
academics. University of Wisconsin sociologist Al Gedicks explains:

Downloaded By; [Hanson, Chad] AC: 23:26 4 November 2006

From the Amazon Basin to the frozen stretches of northern
Saskatchewan, to the tropical rainforests of Southeast Asia and
Central Africa—energy, mining, logging, hydroelectric, and other
mega-projects have uprooted, dislocated, and destroyed native
communities (Gedicks, 1993, p. 13).

As public nonprofit institutions, colleges and universities are charged
to encourage students’ social, moral, and cognitive development. Each
form of development involves fostering students’ skills in such a way
that they can compare and assess competing points of view. The goal
is to create settings in which students and teachers struggle to build a
thorough understanding of human endeavors. “The deep purpose of
higher education is to steward this transformation so that students
and faculty together continually move from naivete through skepti­
cism to commitment” (Parks Dolaz, Keen, Keen, &amp; Dolaz Parks,
1996, p. 12). Public colleges have a duty to move students away from
credulity and toward a capacity to make judgments with respect to the
merit and morality of the cultural patterns unfolding around them.
With respect to such patterns, any assessment of the business
practices shaping life in modern societies makes it plain that interna­
tional corporations are not staffed with cheery munchkins or wellintentioned fairies. In the case of global giants such as Enron the
offices are no longer staffed at all, as the organization imploded in
a flurry of greed and malevolence. Further, of those organizations
currently successful in the world market, an examination of their
work reveals a wide-spread pattern of disregard for social problems
that arise in the locales where they do business (Stiglitz, 2002). In
the parlance of international economics, persistent global poverty,
geographic dislocation, and environmental degradation are described
as “externalities.” They are considered unintended consequences of
trade, not central to the process of profit-making.
The new world of global commerce may be wrought in Techni­
color, it may even be glorious in some ways and for certain entities.
But the faculty of public colleges have an obligation to evaluate

international trade with a critical eye, and from a range of different
perspectives. Unfortunately, international curricula fell into place
before two-year college faculty debated their purposes. We have
yet to conduct a close examination of the assumptions that lie at
the foundation of the new approach to community college educa­
tion. In the absence of deliberations on the intent or consequences
of the new approach, staff and faculty have come to believe that
two-year schools exist to advance international business. With the
wonders of inexpensive foreign-made goods dangled before us so
as to produce an almost trance-like acceptance of the status quo,
we find ourselves caught in the glow of international commerce,
while matters of local concern smolder in our midst. For example,
in the community college curriculum, we give scant attention to
the battles waged by nonprofit organizations struggling to address
the social and ecological problems that burgeon in the wake of eco­
nomic development (Schuyler, 1999).
Consequently, in the spring of 2003 I presented a group of 35
students with a summary of a plan for drilling 50,000 new natural
gas wells in Wyoming’s Powder River Basin, 30 miles north of
the Casper College campus (Beers, 2000; Lavelle, 2001). Students
were dumbfounded. Certain of them had spent time overseas in
nations such as Germany, Sweden, and Guam as members of the
military or as part of high school or college student exchange pro­
grams. On the whole, the group was well-read and well-traveled, but
they were unaware of the effort to turn a portion of Wyoming’s
wide open spaces into an industrial landscape at the hands of global
companies. Should natural gas development go ahead as planned,
the commercial activity will benefit multinational corporations
based throughout the U.S., Europe, and Canada. At the same time,
the drilling rigs will degrade American public land and trample
the geographic history and cultural values of long-time Wyoming
residents (Duffy, 2005).
My students were initially outraged by the prospect of their home
state’s landscape becoming altered beyond recognition, and their pas­
sionate response to the threat posed by the new development fueled a
lengthy in-class discussion about natural resources, consumer habits,
and the stewardship of public land. Ideally, discussions such as these
take place at meetings of the city council, the county commissioner,
the state legislature, and in federal offices. As an educator, I can only
hope the perceptions and sentiments formed in the context of college
courses reach beyond the classroom, off the campus, and into our
communities. I am confident, in the case of this example, that discus­
sions continue in other quarters. However, if I would have chosen a

topic far removed from local concerns, I could rest assured the dialo­
gue would have died as students stepped into the hallway after class.
For instance, I could have planned an activity focused on an inter­
national problem such as deforestation in South America, but to do
so would have kept students from the realization that global pro­
cesses have present and immediate implications. Without a strong
focus on local issues and social problems, international education
places a mask over forces and events that impact communities. More­
over, when conducted in uncritical terms meant to glorify students’
roles as consumers and employees, international education becomes
apolitical, blinding students to their responsibilities as citizens.
As a case in point, in the spring of 2001 1 asked a group of students
in northern Wisconsin two questions with respect to the public ser­
vants representing them in our democracy. First, I asked them to write
the names of all the Green Bay Packer’s players they knew or could
remember. The lists were long. So lengthy, I was forced to give them
more time than I planned. Roughly two-tliirds of the students finished
the roster. Those students then began writing the names of retired
players or athletes placed on injured-reserve. After they finished, I
asked them to write the names of the officials that represent them
at the city, county, state, and federal levels. Two-thirds of the students
were familiar with the governor, roughly one half knew the city’s
mayor, a handful of students cited one of the two senators represent­
ing them in Washington, but the majority either sat silent or laughed
out loud in the manner of people asked to perform a hopeless task.
My students are distracted from their duties as citizens in a self­
governed society. They are not alone, however. Whether we are pre­
occupied with sports, work, television or consumerism, the majority
of us abdicate our role, our right, and our responsibility to play an
active part in American public life (Putnam, 2000). Two-year colleges
have the potential to serve as a hedge against the apathy that per­
vades our social and cultural networks. An engaged college classroom
holds the promise of inspiring and empowering students to act upon
the problems present in their localities. However, if the curriculum is
centered on geographically distant themes, disconnected from com­
munities, then college courses simply serve as additional distractions.
Higher education curricula must include international perspec­
tives—that much is understood—but the question is “Global edu­
cation for what purpose?” Currently, the international curriculum
is aimed at equipping students with skills related to opening new
labor markets (Tow, 2001; Farnsworth, 2006). The result of their
work could well be a loss of jobs or a lower quality of life
for neighbors and fellow citizens. By contrast, a genuine higher

education provides students with the ability to conceive global
commerce in terms of its multiple and wide-ranging effects: social,
economic, and environmental.
A significant body of educational theory and research dating back
to the work of John Dewey (1916) points toward the necessity of taking
students from the local and particular, to the broad and general. Thus,
from the standpoint of the two-year curriculum, the starting point is
here at home, within our families, churches, schools, and neighbor­
hoods. For both social and educational purposes, our in-class activities
must be drawn from our vicinities; and if public colleges are going to
play a role in the effort to reconnect education to communities, it is
going to mean “establishing or re-establishing relationships with com­
munity groups—and not just businesses” (Gamson, 1997, p. 13).
Of course, courses and programs designed to spotlight local issues
must eventually become regional if not global in scope. Responsible
educators “pay careful attention to the patterns that connect the local
and the regional with the global” (Orr, 1994, p. 160). But the intent is
to create an environment where students develop the habit of analyz­
ing local conditions from the standpoint of how they are influenced
by international forces. After all, if community college students are
not willing and equipped to address the social and economic pro­
blems in their own communities, then who will address them? The
citizens of other nations? Foreign governments? Neither scenario
seems likely or desirable.
In the preface to the 1983 Oz, Baum suggests that his story “aspires
to being a modernized fairy tale, in which the wonderment and joy
are retained and the heartaches and nightmares are left out” (Baum,
1983, p. xvi). Similarly, the effort to internationalize the community
college has been an attempt to sell the joys and wonders of globaliza­
tion, while drawing attention away from the “wars, pollution, starva­
tion, species extinctions, and genocides” associated with the new
international order (Perkins, 2004, p. 57). It was an easy sell. The
spectacle of otherness is seductive for both students and faculty,
but the one-sided focus on the benign aspects of globalization puts
us in the undesirable position of advocating, as opposed to evaluating
international business or global politics.
The literary critic Gore Vidal explains, “In sharp contrast to gray
flat Kansas, Oz seems to blaze with color. Yet the Emerald City is a
bit of a fraud. Everyone is obliged to wear green glasses in order to
make the city appear emerald green” (1983, p. 258). In effect, by
propagating uncritical probusiness international curricula, we are
asking students to wear green glasses. Conversely, if colleges upheld
their responsibility, the curriculum would function as a cold, clear

�1006

microscope—classrooms serving as forums where global social and
economic patterns could be assessed from the standpoint of human
and ecological interests. In the light of clear and hard analysis, places
like Kansas will seem less monochrome and more closely connected
to global forces than students or faculty often imagine. Furthermore,
if we put our communities back at the center of our efforts, students
will likely come to see that “There is no place like home,” and that is
a point upon which Dorothy and I agree.

�I FEEL SURE WE WILL REALIZE THAT
PROGRESS CAN BE MEASURED ONLY BY
THE QUALITY OF LIFE - ALL LIFE, NOT
HUMAN LIFE ALONE.
THE ACCUMULATION
OF KNOWLEDGE, THE DISCOVERIES OF
SCIENCE, THE PRODUCTS OF TECHNOLOGY,
OUR IDEALS, OUR ART, OUR SOCIAL
STRUCTURE, ALL THE ACHIEVEMENTS OF
MANKIND HAVE VALUE ONLY TO THE
EXTENT THAT THEY PRESERVE AND IM­
PROVE THE QUALITY OF LIFE.
CHARLES A. LINDBERGH

STOP TALKING ABOUT "THE QUALITY OF
LIFE."
LEAVE THE QUALITY OF LIFE
TO POETS AND LOVERS.
KEEP GOVERN­
MENT PLANNING TO THE MINIMUM LEVEL
OF THE TOLERABLE.
GIVE THE PEOPLE
BREAD AND LET THEM MAKE THEIR OWN
CIRCUSES.
PAUL GOODMAN

IF WE COULD UNDERSTAND WHY NATURE
BEHAVES AS IT DOES, IT WOULD BE OF
TREMENDOUS HELP TO MAN IN SHAPING A
NEW QUALITY OF LIFE FOR MANKIND.
TO
ME THE QUALITY WOULD CORRESPOND ANA­
LOGICALLY TO A GREAT PAINTING WHICH
IS OF VALUE BECAUSE OF WHAT IS LEFT
OUT AS WELL AS WHAT IS INCLUDED.
JONAS SALK

OUR MAIN PRIORITY SHOULD BE THE
QUALITY OF AMERICAN LIFE, RATHER
THAN THE CONTAINMENT OF COMMUNISM.
WE MUST STRENGTHEN OUR OWN SOCIETY.
COMMUNISM IS LIKE A DISEASE; IT
ATTACKS A ROTTEN BODY
BARBARA TUCHMAN
