Debating on Social Change: Key Social Challenges for the 21st Century 3700-ISSC-23-DSC
The objectives of the course are twofold - substantive and formal. The substantive is to think through and discuss some fundamental issues - the challenges of the first decades of the 21st century. Formal - to learn to present arguments effectively but concisely (litotes!), but also to respond effectively to counter-arguments. The format of the class will also allow for efficient group work - both in the - lengthy - preparation for the class and during the offline meetings themselves.
