There will be short interactive presentations by the instructor and assigned readings that students must complete prior to class. Films will be watched online. Following film watching and reading completion, students will be asked to answer short reflection questions in preparation for class discussion on the following week. Initially, discussion will be led by the instructor; later on, students (individually and/or in groups) will take the lead; student-lead discussions will include a brief presentation. At the end of the course, students will be asked to complete a final questionnaire reflecting on the main concepts/issues covered throughout the course. The course uses an active learning approach and students take a leading role in organizing class discussions, working in small groups. The course is taught in English but it is designed in an accessible, inclusive way to facilitate that local and international students can interact fruitfully despite certain language barriers.

Please note that you are assessed on a Pass/Fail basis in this course. Student-lead discussion session: 15% Reflection questions: 10% (x5) Participation: 15% Final questionnaire: 20%
