Unit 3

Unit 3 Contexts – Local and Global Challenges

Unit Code: MU000679 | 20 credits

Unit 3 Contexts – Local and Global Challenges looks at the impact of contemporary values and discourses on the future. It interrogates globalisation as a challenge as well as an opportunity, and facilitates an understanding of enterprise in uncertain contexts.

Holistic assessment

• Team-led and individual writing tasks and contributions to peer presentations throughout the unit, evidenced in the Reading Room Forum online (formatively assessed).

• Two analytical case studies of 1,500 words each, providing an example of both a successful and an unsuccessful attempt to engage with local and global challenges. This can be through cultural activities and innovation (at the governmental/societal level), or cultural responses (at the community and individual level) (summatively assessed).
