族群傳播與客家

這是一門帶學生們從客家出發,從台灣看世界的課。這門課除了將介紹族群傳播相關的基本理論與概念外,還希望帶學生們一起思考台灣的族群傳播現況。透過有關台灣以及不同國家的族群傳播案例研究,學生們除了將培養出在地思維,同時也反思台灣與世界其他國家在族群傳播上的異同處,以及如何讓多元族群多元文化的精神展現在媒體上。學生們並將有機會從實作中思考客家與族群傳播相關議題。 此外,這堂課也將帶學生們認識有關族群傳播的政策制定,並讓學生練習思考如何制定適當政策,讓多元族群的理念更能落實。除了學習並思考客家與族群傳播相關理論與現況,這堂課也會培養學生練習寫學術報告以及口頭報告的技巧。學生們將有機會學習並練習學術文章的引用格式,讓同學們能在大學階段培養收集並正確引用文獻(或是相關資源)的能力與態度,從而應用在未來的研究與創作上。 此外,雖然這門課是以中文授課為主,學生們還是會有機會閱讀英文文獻,並從其他國家的族群傳播現況的資料(多為英文資料,可能為文章或影片等各種有趣的媒體呈現形式)閱讀與欣賞中,提升英文閱讀能力並培養國際觀。從這堂課上,學生們將學習到反思與批判思考能力,族群傳播相關理論與政策議題思考,並且對台灣的客家族群傳播與文化,以及台灣與其他國家族群傳播的現況有所認識。 This course aims to introduce students with theories and issues about ethnicity and race in communication (ethnic communication) in Taiwan (with a focus on Hakka) and around the world. In this class, we will introduce ethnic communication and its relationship with communication technologies, including social media, in different countries. We will start from Taiwan and expand the scope to other countries (e.g., Japan, China, Singapore, New Zealand, Australia, Europe, UK, Africa, Canada, and the United States). We will decide the cases after we meet in class. Students will have opportunities to learn the theories related to ethnic communication and case studies around the world. In addition, students will be encouraged to think critically about ethnicity and race in communication, including the languages, cultures, identity, and communication technologies. At the end of the class, we will connect what we have learned in this class with policy-making to help students develop the skills they need in their future studies on communication technologies, policy development, and their future careers.

這門課除了老師講授課程內容外,還會有課堂討論,族群傳播相關多媒體內容賞析。同時會有課程網站(e-campus),提供課程最新資訊與線上討論機會。

學期作業、考試、評量 由於此門課偏重於應用與思考,我們原則上不會有考試。同學們每週將閱讀指定文獻,並於課堂上討論。如果老師發現同學們沒有閱讀指定文章,我們可能會不定期舉行考試。 Course Requirements: Active Participation If you are not prepared to actively participate in this course, you will not do well in this course. Classes will have some lecture parts, but rather than focusing on long lectures, we will be working on specific questions or issues related to the topic of the week. Attendance and active participation are required components of the course. Merely showing up to class does not equate to class participation. Your attendance will be checked periodically throughout the semester; however, your participation entails more than just attending class. Given the applied nature of the course, all readings should be completed prior to the date they will be covered in class and you are expected to be able to discuss the readings in class. If you are not reading the material prior to class, some random pop quizzes might be implemented. You are also expected to check the course website for the course at least twice per week. Information will be posted there, and you are expected to actively participate in the online discussions. Assignments & Grades: 1. Attendance & Class Participation: 20% 2. Online Weekly Journal: 20% 3. Exercise 1_Hakka: 15% 4. Exercise 2_Case Study: 15% 5. Term Project: 30% Your grades will be based on in-class and online participation, and performance on all assignments. Please make sure to read the assigned material before class and come to class prepared to participate in class discussions. Assignments are due to be completed on the dates detailed below. Only extreme emergencies will warrant exemption from these pre-assigned due dates. Details of the requirements and instructions for these assignments will be provided later.

因此門課包含的議題極廣,並沒有唯一一本最適合的教科書。我們將根據每堂課的主題,閱讀一些精彩具代表性的相關學術論文及報導。這些文章將放於網路上或者於課堂上發給同學。
