Objectives
Students are able to distinguish, evaluate, and apply theories to explain societal and cultural transformations, power relations and agencies in different spheres and over varying timescales. Students understand how change is conceptualised in different theories and how this is related to alternative futures, anticipation and unpredictability of futures. They can articulate the linkages between these theories and previous, current and emerging cultural and social practices. Students have the skills to place them, for research purposes, within epistemic paradigms, and continue developing their theoretical thinking.
This advanced course will instruct students following generic working life skills: critical and analytical thinking, review skills and writing skills. It will also teach following futures skills: perceiving complexity, recognition of temporal perceptions in different theories, non-linear thinking and creativity.
