International Studies

so I'm in the process of turning 15 'spaces' into Postmodern 'spaces.' Don't ask. Trust me.

While i was turning my 'area of study' into a postmodern 'space'- this came up.

New requirement for IS majors. You have to study, work, or volunteer abroad for a min of one semester and it can't be your last semester of school. On returning to Madison, you will be placed into a group of 5-6 people. The group will be composed of other IS majors who just returned from abroad. Each member of the group will have gone to a different country for their semester abroad and will be in different areas of the IS Major (security, economy, global commons, and culture) thus representing different interests. Once in the group (it will be a class- maybe 2 or 3 credits) each group member will do an extensive (ish)presentation on one area of focus that they chose and studied when abroad. You will have to learn the material from the other group members and their countries cause it will come into play in part two. After everyone is done presenting (firs half of the semester) The professor will give out a real (or potentially real) life problem involving each of the member countries. Each group member will represent the interests of their country and of their area of study in the IS major to resolve the problem with their group.- thus doing another report out of how it will affect all involved parties and interests.

hm. sounds fun to me!
