Tomorrow's graduates must make innovative use of global knowledge, universal work-readiness skills, and advanced multicultural understandings to solve future domestic and global problems. However, universities face compelling challenges in providing these skills. Discipline entrenched curricula often takes precedence over global, multicultural learning activities in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) disciplines. This chapter reports on the introduction of global competency and cultural awareness into a postgraduate course at an Australian university. The study demonstrates the advantages of using the existing multicultural learner cohort to integrate global competencies and understandings into the curricula. This research showed that teaching activities such as group learning, global problem-based issues and peer assessment, created successful learning interactions amongst domestic and international students. The outcomes highlight the role of academic staff in planning for global competency in STEM classrooms and changing the global mindset of all students.

Group Members

AbstractWhitehouse adapts insights from evolutionary anthropology to interpret extreme self-sacrifice through the concept of identity fusion. The model neglects the role of normative systems in shaping behaviors, especially in relation to violent extremism. In peaceful groups, increasing fusion will actually decrease extremism. Groups collectively appraise threats and opportunities, actively debate action options, and rarely choose violence toward self or others.

AbstractIntuitions guide decision-making, and looking to the evolutionary history of humans illuminates why some behavioral responses are more intuitive than others. Yet a place remains for cognitive processes to second-guess intuitive responses – that is, to be reflective – and individual differences abound in automatic, intuitive processing as well.

Sense Of Obligation

Abstract Tomasello offers a compelling account of the emergence of humans’ sense of obligation. We suggest that more needs to be said about the role of affect in the creation of obligations. We also argue that positive emotions such as gratitude evolved to encourage individuals to fulfill cooperative obligations without the negative quality that Tomasello proposes is inherent in obligations.

Refining our understanding of the “elephant in the room”

Technological Culture

Abstract The authors do the field of cultural evolution a service by exploring the role of non-social cognition in human cumulative technological culture, truly neglected in comparison with socio-cognitive abilities frequently assumed to be the primary drivers. Some specifics of their delineation of the critical factors are problematic, however. I highlight recent chimpanzee–human comparative findings that should help refine such analyses.

The Relationship

Abstract This commentary focuses upon the relationship between two themes in the target article: the ways in which a Markov blanket may be defined and the role of precision and salience in mediating the interactions between what is internal and external to a system. These each rest upon the different perspectives we might take while “choosing” a Markov blanket.
