IMPACT is a 3-weeks program of courses within the UPEC-UPEM Summer School
(East-Paris) which aims to provide a critical perspective on International
Media, Political Action & Communication Technologies. IMPACT aims to give
its students a critical perspective on how the internationalization of
communication, the sharp increase in and acceleration of the production of
information, and the unprecedented development of digital media play a role
in the way political action, citizen mobilization and public debate are now
being framed.

The course is available for Masters and PhD level students interested in
political and public communication, social movements and transnational
media activism, as well as the role of communication technologies in
international relations. Suitable academic backgrounds include
communication studies, political science, discourse analysis, area and
cultural studies and sociology. The IMPACT course allows you to obtain 3
ECTS.

The academic program has been prepared by Benjamin Ferron and Stéphanie
Wojcik, both lecturers at the UPEC.
