Course content

This course examines the institutional and organisational contexts surrounding Communication for Development. The course also examines textual analysis as a tool for decoding representations of development and social change. It is divided into two modules; ‘Communication and Development Cooperation’ (7,5 credits) and ‘Culture and Media Analysis’ (7,5 credits). The modules are connected in the sense that the first module focuses on a range of communication for development organisations and the discourses of which they are part while in the second module students conduct in-depth analysis of selected media texts and/or practices to better understand the discourses they make up, or which surround them.
