DWA 410 Task Force in Diplomacy and World Affairs
The abilities to locate, compile, synthesize, evaluate, and compellingly present complex and up-to-date knowledge on rapidly changing global issues - and to do so in a team - are highly valued across public, private, and civil society sectors. Task Force courses help students learn and practice how to research, write, and present an extended policy/practice oriented report for a real-world client on an urgent topic in global/local affairs. This gives intense practice on independent team research with significant real-world impacts. Each semester's research focus and client will vary, so this class can be repeated for credit.
