課程英文簡介(Introduction to the course in English)
This course provides students with the opportunity to discuss social and political issues of the contemporary world in English. Requirement for this course is not your previous English performance. If you are willing to learn and discuss something in English, especially something about the ongoing changes in different societies and their future development, that is enough for our course. This is not a course for language exams. Instead, it is a course for students who want to enhance their knowledge of global political and social changes, public affairs and English communication.
本課程提供參與者以英語討論當代社會與政治議題的機會。課程並不要求參與者有完美的英語,畢竟這門課不是英語考試,而且參與者背景相當多元。只要各位想嘗試以英語學習和討論相關社會科學知識和公共議題,課程都歡迎各位加入一起學習,相信到期末時各位都有收穫。

■ 課程目標及內涵 (Course Objectives and Contents) 【附中文說明,完整版課綱亦可見系網站「全球政治與社會變遷:當代議題」PDF檔】
This course provides students with the opportunity to discuss social and political issues of the contemporary world in English. The goal of this course is to understand and explain political and social changes of the current world. Participants will not only learn basic concepts and arguments for their research, their own analysis and case study, but also enhance their ability of dealing with global public issues through the design-thinking method and other activities in class.
Before the midterm, we will depict some major political and social changes that occurred between 1989 and the Covid-19 era by illustrating political and social trends in the post-pandemic era, by reflecting contemporary challenges of democracy, global social movements, migration and identity politics.
After the midterm, we will discuss some ongoing socio-economic problems that different regions and societies try to solve, including housing crisis, energy and food sovereignty, knowledge, future work and leisure. We encourage participants to make possible policy suggestions or innovative cooperation strategies.
