Imagining the Global was a funded initiative of the Northwest Five Consortium (NW5C), including faculty participants from Lewis & Clark College, Reed College, University of Puget Sound, Whitman College, and Willamette University. IG was designed to promote innovative collaboration on key global themes via a web-based learning environment weaving together a wide range of field-based scholarly experiences, thus linking NW5C scholarship across the arts and sciences in the context of local, regional, and international sites. IG offered NW5C students and faculty digital tools and resources for use in courses, scholarly projects, and field-based programs, ultimately to help students develop more sophisticated global understandings and identities, and to view our common Pacific Northwest setting in a broader context. The site proved an effective pilot for Lewis & Clark Around the World, developed soon afterward.
