IIJNM study-abroad program for Earlham Students

The Indian Institute of Journalism and New Media, Bangalore, will conduct a study-abroad program for Earlham College, Richmond, Indiana, USA on Globalization in the Indian context. The program will run at the IIJNM campus from October 10, 2010 to November 3, 2010.

This course will help Earlham students process the concept of globalization in the Indian context. Using Bangalore, its rural surrounding, and other nearby taluks as a geographical laboratory this course will attempt to understand the important economic and social changes that have occurred over the last two decades.

Rajaram Krishnan, Associate Professor of Economics at Earlham, and the College’s India program point person said, “It is no mystery why Bangalore is a good place to center such a course. What we are very excited about is that our students will have the opportunity to interact with IIJNM’s faculty and students when they are in Bangalore.”

The course will be anchored by IIJNM faculty member, Prof. Nagesh Hegde. Eminent researchers and journalists will be resource persons for the course. They include, Mr. Ashwin Mahesh, Dr. Solomon Benjamin and Prof. Arun Subramaniam.
