Inhoud
This course provides an introduction to the way people and organizations use language on environmental and sustainability issues. By doing so they construct a frame in order to give meaning to specific environmental and sustainability issues. A discourse is a ‘frame of reference’ on a particular matter. By a frame of reference, we mean the underlying way something is understood and explained. The course provides premaster students with basic knowledge and understanding by means of assignments.
The course is meant as 5 EC course in the MEEM premaster program
