Description

Collaborate with peers at the largest university in Colombia - Bogota’s UNIMINUTO - to explore public discourse at the intersection of poverty and the environment in both countries. Without physically traveling, you can make new friends in another country, while examining key topics in environmental communication. Students will work in international teams to produce podcast episodes featuring interviews with a range of people -- from both countries -- in public conversations about poverty and the environment.

Strongly encouraged: patience in the face of language and cultural barriers, plus a grade of C- or higher in SPANISH 230 or 232, or RCLANG 294 -- or equivalent.

Intended Audience:

This course counts towards PitE's interdisciplinary requirements, and also towards PitE's Environmental Writing and Communication specialization.

In collaboration with: Santiago Torres Sanchez and Paola Ruiz Rodriguez, from Corporación Universitaria Minuto de Dios (UNIMINUTO), Bogotá.

Class Format:

Learning Mode: Distance. Lecture, all aspects of this Lecture section (002) will be fully compatible with remote online learning for the Fall 2023 term.

Instruction Mode: This course will meet synchronously, once per week.
