OUR COURSES
This course focuses on equipping students with the skills and knowledge necessary to effectively report on political and civic participation. Students will learn how to navigate the complexities of political reporting, engage with a variety of sources, and critically analyze political and civic events in order to provide accurate and informative coverage.
This course will equip students with the knowledge and skills necessary to conduct effective and insightful interviews with women in politics. Through examining gendered power dynamics, communication strategies, and ethical considerations, students will learn how to elicit meaningful and nuanced responses from female politicians in various contexts.
This course explores the underlying complexities that journalists may face when covering complex news stories. Reporting on issues such as sexual violence is a skill that is often glossed over in journalists’ education. Combining theory and practice, this course will correct this oversight and give journalists the expertise and understanding to report on these subjects responsibly and ethically.
