mersenners -
If you have undergraduates who would be interested in a year (or a term) in London
exploring STS issues in a global activist context then I'd be very grateful if you could
point them towards a programme UCL is launching under its Global Citizenship theme next
academic year.
For example they could take part in an action-based course where they collectively design
and promote a campaign around a global issue. (We were only half joking when we thought
we could assess this course by measuring the world before and after...) There are also courses
on the politics of science and global climate change, mass media, technologies, and so on.
The big idea is that undergraduates visit UCL for a year, or part of a year, during
which they take courses centred in science and technology studies, during which they learn
global citizenship skills.
If you think such a year or term abroad might be of interest to some of
your undergraduates, then I'd be delighted if they contact us via
[log in to unmask], or via the program website:
