INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS & SCIENCE FICTION

Catalog description

Students will come away from this course with an understanding of the international political system and the ability to apply a general conceptual framework and theoretical tools to interpret, analyze and evaluate issues and events in international politics. The twist is that we will be using science fiction - notably the idea of a zombie apocalypse, but also other films and pop culture references - to illustrate important concepts. Prerequisite: Completion of an English Sequence (4 credits)
