Workshop: “What do we know about the basics? Doing reflexivity about key concepts”
In this workshop, students will engage in collaborative work in order to map, and reflect on, what the group thinks and knows about four key concepts: communication, media, information and change. Collaborative work will take place across the two locations in which the workshop will take place: online, and on site at Malmö University. In preparation for the workshop, students will think about, and bring to the classroom, their answers to a set of 9 questions (see the Seminar 1 folder on It’s Learning for a link to these questions).

Florencia Enghel (Stockholm University) Lecture “Communication in international development cooperation: variations and examples”
In this lecture, we will consider various definitions of the role of communication (and media) in international development cooperation. We will approach variation from three perspectives: theoretically, as defined in academic literature and understood in research studies; practically, as characterized by organizations and practitioners that work with communication in development; and empirically, as found in concrete, selected examples of the ‘doing’ of communication in development and interrelated fields.
