Through the use of ethnography, participant observation, case studies, theories of culture, and role plays, we embark on a journey towards the world of ‘the other’ with the ultimate goals of :
- Shedding light on our own cultural limitations and assumptions
- Gaining practical insights into interactively managing cultural differences in the professional and personal spheres.
As participants, you are expected to read assigned articles and prepare exercises and/or case studies before each class. Participation in the class is a critical element of the learning process and is part of your assessment to attribute your grades.
*These credits can be transferred to your home institution, however, it is your responsibility to verify with your advisor and/or department that the credits you earn in Grenoble can be applied to your curriculum or course of study.
Your home institution may ask for an additional fee to transfer the credits.
