Anotace

 This course explores the complex relationships between globalization, culture, and communication in an increasingly interconnected world. Students examine how global flows of media, technology, and people shape cultural identities and influence communication practices across diverse societies. The course also analyzes power dynamics, including issues of representation, inequality, and cultural exchange in global contexts. Through case studies and theoretical frameworks, learners develop critical skills to interpret cross-cultural interactions and global communication systems. By the end of the course, students will be equipped to navigate and engage thoughtfully with cultural diversity in both local and global environments.

Výstupy z učení

This course seeks to familiarize you with the skills and analytical tools necessary to engage with the concept of globalization in theory and praxis. and the way its formation and processes intersect your lives and understanding of the world. The goal is to provide a toolbox and framework by which you will be able to more effectively engage globalization as a part of your personal and professional development – philosophically and pragmatically -- as engaged global citizens. Engaging your curiosity and stimulating ourselves intellectually are similar goals.  To that end, we expect to utilize your own international perspectives and experiences to augment our understanding of the subject matter at hand. Utilizing the affordances of new media, dialogue, research, and critical reflection, we will endeavor to enhance our mutual comprehension and perspectives related to conceptualizing and understanding globalization in all its complexity.
