20 Engaging Global Politics IA Ideas

The Global Politics IA, also known as the Engagement Activity, is a fantastic opportunity to explore beyond the classroom and directly involve yourself in your community! However, this doesn't mean you can't look at broader issues not directly related to your immediate surroundings. For example, you could delve into different dimensions of inequality and link that back to an NGO working on similar aspects near you.

The main thing to remember is to link your research question back to the key concepts you've studied in the course. This means the possibilities are endless, allowing you to have tons of fun while meaningfully engaging with the world around you. However, this can also feel overwhelming at first. To help you get started, here's a list of 20 out-of-the-box IA ideas to kickstart your brainstorming!

This list is by no means exhaustive; think of it as a source of inspiration!
