Outline and objectives

Seminar (Academic)
This seminar offers students opportunities to discuss contemporary issues and prospects associated with international relations in the Indo-Pacific region. Although it is said that information technology (IT) has made a massive amount of knowledge accessible to us, it is entirely unclear how we can effectively use it to make the world more sustainable. On the contrary, we tend to be drawn in a sea of information. This seminar encourage students to gain skills to critically analyze knowledge in the age of globalization.

Goal

Upon successful completion of this course, students will be able to:
(1) Learn critical reading skills.
(2) Learn critical thinking skills.
(3) Understand how ‘concepts’ are used analytically.
