IMPACT aims to give its students a critical perspective on how the internationalization of communication, the sharp increase in and acceleration of the production of information, and the unprecedented development of digital media play a role in the way political action, citizen mobilization and public debate are now being framed.

Course format and teaching methods

The course starts with introductory lectures on how different themes and disciplinary perspectives come together in international communication. Before the start of the course, selected readings will be made electronically available to students.

Students will report their findings in formal presentations to be discussed by fellow students and assessed by the teachers.
