Instructions: Overview In groups of 4-5, you will lead a 20-30 minute in-class panel discussion on a human rights-focused podcast episode of your choice (podcast must be a minimum of 20 minutes in duration). Your goal is to spark a lively conversation that explores the podcast's key themes and their connection to current human rights issues relevant to the weekly class topic. This is not a scripted presentation, but a chance to actively engage your classmates and delve deeper into the complexities of human rights. Instructions
1. Podcast Selection: As a group, choose a podcast episode that is relevant to human rights and directly relates to the topic covered in class the week of your presentation. A curated list will be provided on vUWS, but you are welcome to explore other options if they meet the criteria.
2. Approval: Submit your chosen podcast to the subject coordinator for approval no later than one week before your scheduled presentation date.
3. Preparation (Individual): - Each group member listens to the podcast episode individually. - Prepare thoughtful questions and comments about:
- Key themes or arguments presented in the podcast. - Connections to current human rights events or debates, specifically those related to the weekly class topic. - Your personal reactions, opinions, or questions raised by the podcast. - Consider different perspectives on the issues discussed. - Identify potential points of disagreement or controversy that could spark debate.
