The Global Culture and Media Academy seeks to offer students a foundation for understanding the intricate and complex relationship between language, culture, communicative practices, and the role we play as individuals in the globalized world of today. The course will focus on key ideas in intercultural communication to provide a basis for nuanced practices, reflections, and strategies that are associated with 21st-century skills and essential behaviors of a global citizen. While the course primarily addresses topics related to “culture” and “Culture” (and their relationship), the incorporation of media allows students to grow in the areas of ethnographic data collection and deep analysis of language and culture as represented through different types of media. The Global Culture and Media Academy is fully residential with no commuter or online options.
