INTS1001: What is International Studies?

2025 unit information

This unit introduces the international as an arena accessed largely by a privileged global population, in which certain knowledges and language skills are taken for granted. It explores how different academic disciplines understand the international, both conceptually and through interrogation of social, historical, and political practices. The unit challenges students to always consider the impact of global ideas and policies on local communities as they develop their knowledge and skills as internationally focused thinkers and actors.
