Dear colleagues,

The Department of Politics and Communication at the Hadassah Academic College in Israel is seeking to partner up with an academic institution from Europe or the Middle East with the aim of offering students a joint course in the fields of politics, political science, diplomacy, and communication.

The touristic aspect of the course will be manifested in mutual visits to the relevant study sites according to the course's content.

The course will have a hybrid structure:

• 2 to 3 online meetings with students and instructors from both institutions.
• Two study trips (4 to 5 days), one in each country, for the purpose of meetings with local experts and visiting relevant sites.

Examples for course topics:

• Fake news
• Criticism of journalists by politicians
• Public trust in the media
• Political polarization & news consumption
• Criticism of media outlets & media behavior

The course could be based on an existing offering at your institution. We will work together to determine content and schedule that would fit both institutions.

I would appreciate it very much if you could forward this message to relevant colleagues.

Looking forward to your suggestions and referrals,

Please respond through my private email: iritshmuel1@gmail.com

Dr. Irit Shmuel
