Global Connections is a module about complex, globally-oriented topics that are challenging to address through one disciplinary approach.
This module offers the skills you will need to tackle multidimensional, fluid and often unpredictable factors that create global problems. As such, we will explore topics that include an intricate convergence of perspectives, experiences and knowledge including Global Health, Migration, Global & Sustainable Development, the Global Knowledge Economy, Transnational Communication, and Global Cultural Flows. As such, you will exposed to a range of disciplinary approaches - from the economic, philosophical, and political, to the social, environmental and technological.
Global Connections offers a ‘transdisciplinary approach’ to learning – we will explore the equal value of academic, personal and professional experiences in understanding complex global issues. On this module you will be exposed to range of compelling topics delivered by Specialist Contributors who are experts in their interdisciplinary field of work, and are based across the academic landscape of the Humanities, Social Sciences and Natural Sciences. On this module, you are encouraged to integrate your own disciplinary knowledge, personal experiences, and/or reflections on your professional life as we examine together the complexities of Global Connections.
This module is for anyone who is interested in global issues, and there is no requisite to join. We welcome a diverse range of students from different academic, cultural and professional backgrounds, which is important in establishing a rich intercultural learning experience for all.
The Global Connections course aims to:
1. Explore how the notion of the ‘global’ is conceptualised, approached and practiced in the 21st Century, how boundaries are attached to this concept, and where this fits within local, regional and national frameworks and imaginaries.
2. Develop a theoretical and practical understanding of globalisation and global connectivity, as seen through various thematic lenses.
3. Foster problem-based learning that will broaden perspectives, interests, skills and knowledge that reach between and beyond disciplines and subject areas, in order to examine the complexities and interrelatedness of globally-oriented issues.
4. Adopt an approach towards conceptualising knowledge as progressing from one-dimensional, fragmented, and boundary-forming to complex, connected, collaborative and boundary-blurring.
5. Provide an opportunity for you to independently develop, reflect on, explore, manage, and validate your own interest areas, creativity, knowledge base, and skill set.
