ACADEMIC CONTENT
Overall objective

The course Communicating Diversity and Inclusion introduces students to theoretical perspectives on issues of representation and participation in media and communication. The aim of the course is to enable students to apply and critically reflect upon different explanatory frameworks that offer varying diagnoses of current conditions of social justice, locally and globally, and to analyse the role of digital media in resolving or perpetuating concerns around communicative diversity. Students are taught how to identify and analyse the dynamic interrelations of various dimensions of social in- and exclusion, with particular attention placed on practices of participatory communication, internal and external engagement, community outreach, and relations management. Finally, the course introduces and offers training in practical interventions aimed at promoting equity and inclusion in organizations and societies.
