Register Now: Higher Education Series with Professor Jeffrey D. Sachs

Learning from the Past, Acting for the Future

Across millennia, human societies have adapted to change, forged new connections, and shaped the world we live in today. The Ages of Globalization invites learners on an immersive journey through humanity’s shared history — tracing seven ages of globalization through the lens of geography, technology, and institutions — to better understand the forces that continue to shape our interconnected world.

Through visits to UNESCO World Heritage Sites, dialogues with world leaders and experts, and a wide range of interactive learning experiences, the initiative empowers learners to explore the roots of global systems — and to connect that historical knowledge with the challenges we face today. From ancient aqueducts and empires to digital networks and climate negotiations, each experience becomes a window into how the past informs the present — and how we can help build a more inclusive, peaceful, and sustainable future.

From February - April 2026, learners and educators are invited to join weekly live sessions via Zoom. Learners will have the opportunity to directly engage with Professor Jeffrey D. Sachs​​​​ to explore specific issues and topics across 10 Learning Modules.
