Special Class: “Democratization and Public Diplomacy: Critical Questions”
"Democratization and Public Diplomacy: Critical Questions"
Special Class with Benjamin Barber, author of Jihad vs. McWorld
The Masters Program in Public Diplomacy invited students to work with one of the greats of our field: Benjamin Barber. Professor Barber, a Senior Fellow at the USC Center on Public Diplomacy and author of Jihad vs. McWorld, Consumed and many other well known books, visited campus for two weeks starting on October 22 as a guest of the Public Diplomacy program. He taught a brief course of five seminars under the title "Democratization and Public Diplomacy: Critical Questions." The core members of the class were members of the MPD program who produced a piece of research during the course of the spring semester.
