- Title
Teaching activism in Indonesia's public relations classrooms: A case study of two universities in Tangerang.
- Authors
Simorangkir, Deborah N.; Setijadi, Naniek
- Abstract
This case study describes how two universities in Tangerang, Indonesia -- Swiss German University and Universitas Pelita Harapan -- teach social activism in public relations classrooms. Even though neither university offers a specific social activism course, social activism is embedded in various mandatory courses for public relations students. Moreover, faculty members regularly involve students in their community involvement projects. Thus, both universities educate future public relations professionals about social activism through theory and hands-on practices. This method is consistent with the objectives of the Ministry of Education and Culture's Merdeka Belajar-Kampus Merdeka program, as well as Ernest Boyer's and John Dewey's approach to education.
