Master of Advanced Studies in
INTERCULTURAL COMMUNICATION

This modules contains two parts:
Part 1:  Focus on interaction between interculturality and the legal system, more specifically human rights; at the end of the course, the participant should be able to understand: how HR are conceived and implemented at both national and international levels, how HR promote diversity, where are the limits to diversity.
Part 2: In five units, we introduce participants to relevant social theory, present cutting-edge research findings, and discuss the applications and implications in various hands-on exercises. The module begins with how humans perceive the world and how immigration plays an important role in understanding and classifying the everyday. We then explore the consequences of this with regard to political representation, exclusion, the media, and right-wing populism to underline how migration poses a challenge to democracy.
