POS 4050 ACADEMIC CONFERENCES: MODEL UN
Students who sign up for this course (with the permission of the instructor) are assigned to a member state which they will represent at the Harvard National Model United Nations (HNMUN). They study the country. and, with the help of the study guide put out by the HNMUN, work up position papers on the global issues that will come up for deliberation at their committee, which will be shared among all the delegates at the model UN. In February students go to Boston and participate in the four day annual Model UN session. (Please note: To accommodate the HNMUN's timeline, this course runs from December 1 of the Fall semester to the end of February of the Spring semester, including the January intersession when much of the work is done through the use of BlackBoard.)
