POL-1050 Model United Nations
In this course students will become familiar with the history, structure, and function of the United Nations. The most important questions of international governance - security, human rights, and sustainable development - will receive the greatest emphasis in our study of the United Nations. In more than 50% of the course, students will engage in experiential learning through participation in a model UN structure. Students will represent various nation-states of the UN through role-play in positions of leadership and decision-making. The Model UN will gradually become more the "property" of the students to operate as the semester progresses.
