POLS 000/4018 - East- West Dialogue: Cross-Cultural Perceptions and Reflections (3 cr.)
Prerequisites
RHET 2010 and 6 credits at 3000 level in POLS
Description
This course provides a unique opportunity for students at AUC to share their educational experience with students in the west. The medium for this shared experience will be videoconferences held over the internet with university classes in the United States and other Western countries. For each videoconference, we will be reading the same texts as the students at our partner institutions. The videoconferences provide not only the medium for the shared component of the course; they also suggest its substantive theme. For, while we encounter the apparent cultural other over the internet, we will be exploring with them the question of our relationship to the other - especially how our perceptions of the other have developed over time and how they continue to influence the political interaction between “East” and “West” today.
