Aims, contents and method of the course

"Doing" Democracy in Europe: questions in media and citizenship - Jean Monnet Course.

„Doing“ Democracy refers to the processes and ways in which pro-democracy practices in and through media and communication strengthen, dispute and challenge or re-envision the European project of integration. These may be questions about
social media organization of social movements;
countering hate speech practices;
feminist practices of speaking up and speaking out;
social movements countering copyright policy and privacy violations.

This class will examine articulations of democratic practice as found, for example, in the streets, squares, walls and in expressions such as protest, solidarity, community projects, public art, street theatre and other forms of communicating, connecting and practicing the four dimensions of citizenship as outlined by Ruth Lister.

The Research project builds on the theoretical and issue-based discussions of the core courses of the MA Programme and aims to provide the tools for in-depth research and analysis. The course aims to develop independence in designing and executing original research and lays the basis for an original project.

Students will be immersed in real, original research project design and execution around themes connected to the strand of 'doing democracy'.

This is a designated Jean Monnet course associated with the Jean Monnet Chair of Professor Sarikakis
