The Global Media Classroom offers an innovative approach to internationalisation and cultural exchange, focusing on media theories and practices in a global context. Students engage in interdisciplinary learning through workshops and projects, gaining insights into participatory cultures, creative industries, and media marketing.
The Global Media Classroom is designed to offer an innovative, low-carbon approach to internationalisation and cultural exchange across Lancaster University and its international partner institutions (Sunway University, LU Ghana, BJTU, and LU Leipzig). It offers a novel opportunity to learn about the theories and practices of media in a global context through interactive workshops with students and academics from classrooms across different countries and regions of the world.
Taking an interdisciplinary approach, this module will provide students with a diverse set of perspectives into media theories and practices, ranging from the role played by media in (re)making global participatory cultures, creative industries, film and documentary making, to business management and media marketing. In-depth case studies from different parts of the world will be included to illustrate complex cultural, social, political and economic forces at play in shaping the global media landscape.
In teaching the model, academics across different sites will collaborate with one another to co-deliver globally relevant and locally embedded content on media studies, and students across the global classroom sites will participate in international, interdisciplinary interactive learning via real-time virtual workshops and out-of-class joint projects.
On completing the course, students will be able to:
