      Course info

      This course is available as background self-study course for students taking credit courses in relevant areas and others more generally. It inbcludes a set of videos, course readings, quizzes and frameworks for indepenent study. The general theme of the course is given in the title: We live ina time of increased globalization, marked by more travel than ever, accelerated information flows and resultant changes in local society. In the course we will trace theories of communication, mobility and globalization with a critical view on how these themes are articulated within differenct social science disciplines such as geography, anthropology, media studies, sociologoy and political science.

      The coure is organized into four modules, each representing one week´s worth of work. Stuydents may of course spend more or less time on each module. Within the modules, the course is organized with four lectures and study themes, each representing about 10 hours worth of work. After each 10 hour session there is a quizz available to check progress and move on.

      Each session starts with a video. All told, there are 16 videos. All of them are short. They introduce the topic and point to one critical question for each session. A slider presentation follows, with the basic points being covered. Next, the course session outlines the obligatory readings. The readings trake about 50% of the time in each session. After the readings are completed, learners taking the course are asked to write a summary of the session, as well as a final checkpoint survey.

      That´s it.
