Humanistieke praktijken in een globaliserende samenleving

After successful completion of the course M3-HUM4 Humanistic Practices in a Globalizing World, students are able to:

1. Critically reflect on how processes of meaning-making and humanization are challenged in pluri-cultural environments (learning outcomes 2b, 3a).
2. Analyse contemporary social-political contexts in which humanistic practices develop by drawing on relevant philosophical – and social theory (learning outcomes 1a, 2b).
3. Substantiate their own point of view on why and how humanistic practices are subject to change in a globalizing world (learning outcomes 3a, 4a, 4b).
4. Integrate prior knowledge and skills (Master 1 and 2) in their assessment of current professional challenges within existing and newly emerging humanistic practices (learning outcomes 1a, 1b, 3a, 4a, 5a).
5. Creatively and succinctly share emerging professional insights with other (aspirant) humanistic professionals (learning outcomes 4a, 5a). 

World View-, Academic and Professional Education

This course integrates elements of World View- , Academic - and Professional curriculum tracks.

Brief explanation of cohesion with other courses

This course offers (1) a synthesising culmination of prior obtained knowledge and skills with regard to World Views, Professionalism (particularly the internship) and Research; and (2) a bridge to Professional Practices.

Format

Lectures, dialogue sessions using film, social media and presentations of group assignments.

Relation between theory and practice

This course bridges academic study and professional practices.

Relation between education and research

This course explicitly involves recent academic research findings (published and/or submitted journal articles) by UvH researchers.

Opportunity for specialisation

Based on their prior curriculum choices and their internship experiences, all students opt for one of the existing professional Humanistic working fields (Care, Education, Organisation, Research) or focus on (possibly) newly emerging professional fields where Humanistic Studies graduates could work (e.g. Media, sustainable development, Arts and Culture). Through a group assignment, students meaningfully connect their knowledge about globalization processes with their chosen practice.
