What is a Landscape Biography? What do you look at if you want to carry out a Heritage Impact Assessment? And why should we care about heritage anyway?
Last Friday, 24 October, International Studies had the first informal awarding of first year diplomas.
There is growing awareness about the ecological and social crises that the Latin American region faces. To amplify these issues, Maria Gabriela Palacio Ludeña is collaborating with a National Geographic film-maker and special guest Rodrigo Polić, who produced the documentary Katalalixar in the Patagonian archipelago, travelling alone in his kayak and filming in the territory that was inhabited more than six thousand years ago by the indigenous community kawéskar, now extinct.
From now on, every Friday (15:30-18.00) the Schouwburgstraat Café, offers drinks at a discount, TGIF! Come socialize & enjoy a €2 drink.
On 22 October we will award the First year diplomas to those second year students who passed all their courses during the first year of their studies, and thus received the 60 curricular credits within one year.

Welcome to our new tutors at the BA International Studies! Mid-August 14 new faces joined our team! We are happy to welcome them to the International Studies community and want to introduce them to our students. We asked them where they come from, what they expect of teaching at International Studies and whether they want to share something that not everybody knows about them. Here are their answers:
I always heard that the Netherlands is famous for its unpredictable and unfavorable weather, and this summer proved that to be true. Nonetheless, the moment it started to get better, the summer vacation ended, and the new academic year started. Other students and I who spent their vacation in the Netherlands, were upset about this fact.
Since the beginning of this academic year, Sophia Healy and Jess Whatmore, have assumed their new position as Student Members of the International Studies Programme Board, which is responsible for the day to day running of International Studies. They will represent the opinion and needs of the student body in discussions on the design of the programme, the implementation of changes, and much more. Who are they and how can you get in touch?
There’s a lot of talk these days about artificial intelligence (AI) and how it is going to reshape our life-worlds in the coming decade and beyond. And justifiably so too – so much of what we do already in our social activity, ‘choices’ of entertainment, and business interactions are already shaped by algorithms.
