This programme will take students on a journey of making and discovering patterns in the world around us. What kind of communication happens in social media, in films, in mythology? What are our ideas of gender, of science, of behaviour? How do we write and tell stories about ourselves, our pasts and our futures? What do we consider our society’s achievements and failures? In this programme, the students will not answer but rather learn to ask these questions to the larger world. We invite students to immerse themselves in history, media, economics, psychology, politics, and popular culture and become storytellers of the new world. Students will explore key concepts across disciplines, including History, Political Science, Sociology, Media Studies, Psychology, and Writing and Communication.
