A poignant and quantitative experience all at once, this eight-part series brings the power of global data-mapping into the classroom. Enabling students to interpret detailed statistics gathered from around the world, each program focuses on specific concerns—life expectancy, crime rates, the spread of disease, and more—to create an international portrait of the human condition. The result is a potent catalyst for global studies dialogue and discussion. 8-part series, 31 minutes each.
