Mapping the 21st Century: Culture, Identity, Conflict

The goal of this course is to look in detail at three key areas of transition where the tension between globalisation and localisation is at its strongest. These are: culture, identity and conflict–giving it an alternative name: CIC.

In the Culture unit we will look at how this complex world is reflected in global (popular) culture and its cultural products, ranging from film, music, TV shows to food.

The Identity component will address the following questions: Who and what defines and constructs identity? What kinds of identity are there? Starting with the personal we will explore the idea of identity in the 21st century, by looking among other things at education and upbringing; migration; media; surgery; fashion; identity theft and the “new” Bundeswehr.

The unit Conflict focuses on new challenges for the 21st century: hybrid warfare, asymmetric warfare, climate change and resource wars, and AI autonomous systems.

English for Leadership

In today’s increasingly globalised academic and business world, we need more than just good English language skills. In fact, English is hardly considered a foreign language at all, but instead the world’s global language. We are expected to give presentations, negotiate and write in English. In addition, in dealing with international academic and business partners, etiquette and intercultural awareness are equally important, whether queuing for the buffet, chairing a meeting or negotiating.

The English for Leadership course bridges the gap between theory and practice — between education and real life. It prepares managers and leaders for senior positions. It prepares students for management and leadership positions. In the world’s global language.

War in Words

In this course we focus on how war is depicted in fictional and non-fictional media and therefore involves the use of a lot of visual, audio and print media input. We start by developing which themes are explored in the media and then analyze how that depiction varies from war to war and how our „consumption“ of such media affects how we then approach war.
