If you’re interested in understanding how algorithms can be racist, how your smartphone is a political object, or how climate change becomes an issue for a growing number of people, the Engaging Public Issues Master’s programme is for you. It deals with contemporary public issues such as racism, automation or global warming that mobilize people as publics to work towards change. Such issues are shaped far beyond the traditional domain of electoral politics and involve publics with different identities and interests, and with wholly different ways of imagining the future.This Master’s programme doesn’t place one issue front and center, but it provides you with the tools to navigate and broker public issues, to develop your own engagement with them and to intervene in them.Most of today’s major issues, such as climate change, racism or automated technologies, are not limited to traditional parliamentary politics, but play out in the public sphere of (online) media, social movements, expertise, activism and policy making. This Master’s programme enables you to understand how such concerns become public issues. It provides you with the tools to navigate and broker complex issues, to develop your own engagement with them and to intervene in them.
