Select section TERM PROJECT: NON-PROLIFERATION PODCAST

TERM PROJECT: NON-PROLIFERATION PODCAST
As your term project, you will record a videopodcast episode. You can either work alone or in a pair – your choice. The episode should have 40–50 minutes; half of it will be your discussion of the selected topic and the other half will be your interview with a scholar or expert of your choice. I will provide you with a list of possible topics, but you are welcome to come up with your own: we will discuss them regularly on Moodle. Each of you should have a topic and an interviewee selected by week 5. You will submit the podcast outline/script by week 10 and the final podcast by January 15^th. In addition to your own project, you will also provide feedback on the podcast outline of your classmates by week 11 (at least two detailed feedbacks!). I will upload the final podcast episodes on our YouTube channel, to be publicly accessed by anyone.
