À propos de ce cours : Learn how theatre and globalization have affected each other over the past century, and how to conduct your own research on global theatre histories.
Les destinataires de ce cours : There are no prerequisites for this course. That said, an interest in common media depictions of globalization will help you understand the main arguments more quickly. Relatedly, reading and writing comfortably in English at the undergraduate college level will enable your more active engagement in course discussion forums and peer assessment exercises. A basic understanding of theatre history, especially in the 20th century, would be advantageous.
