INT503: World Seen Through a Daily Newspaper

The materials and issues of this course are derived from an intensive reading of the daily New York Times. Students track various geopolitical, economic and social issues as they are reported in the newspaper during the course of the term. Class time is devoted to an analysis of these issues, as well as to a discussion of whatever stories appear in the newspaper on a given day. Occasional background materials are included to help students place daily events in a larger historical context.
