Global Knowledge Society - ICOM301
This unit discusses the commodification of knowledge in information societies focusing on how information and communication technologies are used by international actors such as states, corporations and non-government organisations. Lectures and readings link discipline-based skills and knowledge to career paths. Through team exercises students are asked to consider themselves as knowledge workers and to discover inter-disciplinary approaches to finding solutions in an economy which is global, networked and informational. Students are encouraged to engage in innovation learning through individual project design informed by leaders in the field.
