課程簡介Course Description

As the introductory lecture for the triple-specialization program of the International College of Innovation, this course aims to guide our first-year students to the world of contemporary global studies. By referring to global studies as a specific field of interdisciplinary expertise, we consider the globe as a community, where environment, resources, species, and human activities are all closely bound together across the sovereign state borders. This course prepares the undergraduates for the three specializations at the International College of Innovation: Globalization and Democratic Governance, Global Technology and Innovation Management, and Asian Society and Sustainable Development. Lectures will be given by different lecturers, experts in their respective domains. Topics of lectures here are indicative, lecturers may fix their own topic accordingly based on their expertise. As a whole, this course puts forward a panorama for the ICI program and pave the way to better comprehend the objectives of our training. This three-credit course is compulsory for all first-year students of ICI and optional to other NCCU students.

全球研究導論是創新國際學院的大一的入門必修課。它以ICI的三大領域--「全球治理」 (Global Governance)、「永續與社會」（Sustainability and Society）、「資料分析」（Data Analytics）為課程主軸，引領學生們認識這三軸如何在我們複雜的生活世界中相互交織，同時也為學生未來選擇學院的三項專題（全球治理、永續與社會、資料分析）預作準備。在這門課程中，我們將共同探討各種跨越國界的行動者、思想、環境、資源、物種、資本和事件的交會、機遇和挑戰。同時，本課程廣泛引介國際政治經濟學、法律、歷史、地理、社會學、人類學、人權和科技研究等方面的學術研究成果，我們旨在為學生們提供一個跨學科、領域的全球研究知識基礎，充分體現學院特色，並使學生們全景式地概覽創新國際學院四年課程。
