Students will spend one week on Carleton University\u2019s campus in Ottawa and one week on Emerson College\u2019s campus in downtown Boston. The course provides a comparative perspective of research and practice related to civic engagement in the current communication environment. This includes, but is not limited to: 1) models of engagement; 2) social, linguistic, political, cultural, ethnic, religious, and economic minorities; 3) open data and citizen engagement by national governments; 4) legal frameworks for participation; 5) public relations. This course leverages wide-ranging pedagogical approaches, including in-class presentations by professors from both universities, guest presentations by and conversations with leading practitioners, as well as field trips, to provide students with an immersive educational experience. By the end of the course, students are expected to acquire a well-rounded vision and understanding of the challenges and opportunities of contemporary civic engagement from a comparative perspective.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>COMS 4800A Special Topics in Communication and Media Studies: History of Photography Tuesdays and Thursdays, 18.05-20.55 July 4 \u2013 August 16, 2017\u00a0 This course introduces students to the history of photography, from the daguerreotype to the selfie.
