This course aims to introduce students to the role of the media and mediation in contemporary global cultures, especially from an intercultural perspective.

There are two coursebooks:

• Lull, James (2007). Culture-on-Demand: Communication in a Crisis World. Oxford: Blackwell.
• Galtung, Johan (2004). Transcend and Transform: An Introduction to Conflict Work. London: Pluto Press.

They can be purchased at the university bookshop on campus.

There is a short bibliography of extra readings.

Students from other programmes are welcome to attend this course.
