So why are so many countries turning inward? The time seems right to explore what it means to be a global citizen today. In this issue, we catch up with Sarah Lawrence faculty and alumni whose work has taken them from the Amazon rainforest to the West Wing of the White House, from the fight for human rights to the defense of our environment.
