Overview
Students will work individually to create a series of memes (10 or more) related to several topics/key points we have discussed in class and read about. They can choose specific topics, events, or figures in the field to memeify. These topics include geopolitical conflicts, international treaties, global organizations, key historical events, and international crises. Students may choose to use powerpoint, canvas, or another similar alternative to produce an entire series of memes relating to several IR topics. Each meme will also require a brief explanation of the context and message behind each meme, discussing the international relations themes and issues they address. This project requires students to have a comprehensive and nuanced understanding of concepts in order to deliver a meme that can be clever and impactful in various categories. The project will be evaluated by the relevance and accuracy of the content, the level of creativity, the visual appeal of the meme, etc. Overall, this project allows students to apply humor and creatively showcase their understanding of complex international relations concepts in a visually engaging and accessible way.
below I attached terms and study guides given out for our final exam to give an outline of what we've learned.
