This course gives students the means to think critically about issues such as how communication networks, multinational industries and global political movements shape the planet and transform every aspect of life. Students learn in small seminar groups where they develop skills in oral presentation, debating and listening. In project work they learn to work independently, confidently presenting their ideas and developing transferable skills useful for careers in NGOs, journalism, politics, publishing, teaching, business or academia.
