I've compiled all the songs from this semester's IR course and added student suggestions: open.spotify.com/playlist/3t1...

Today was the final lecture in my IR class, which means the final song 😢
I thought an appropriate anthem for 'international migration and refugees' was this:

Today's IR class was dedicated to "sustainable development?" so I thought this would be a-Muse-ing:

The song for today's IR topic -- the envionment -- was a no-brainer and a classic! ...and sadly, just as relevant today as it was 50+ years ago...

Today's IR class was all about humans - rights, security, and development. Such a topic needs inspirational music = www.youtube.com/watch?v=DHc4...

Truth Commission

Today's topic was "Truth and Reconciliation Commissions" and I found this gem that perfectly fit the bill:

Today's IR topic was "peace" and I'm just tickled that I could use the only song I know that's dedicated to a peacekeeper!

Today's IR class was a bit different. I introduced the Model Arctic Council, which we'll be doing, and revealed everyone's roles. Before the reveal, I had to tease them with this:

This is the best I could come up with for today's topic, "Conflict in the Arctic"... le sigh... www.youtube.com/watch?v=wrDj...
#americancollegeofnorway #internationalrelations #irplaylist #Rush

Today's topic in IR class was "War and Conflict"...this song and video seem pretty spot on for it: www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Dbo...
#americancollegeofnorway #internationalrelations #irplaylist #RiseAgainst

In today's IR class, we discussed global civil society and this song immediately came to mind (where it will stay for the next 3 months, whether I want it to or not): www.youtube.com/watch?v=6IsE...

In today's IR class, we talked about international institutions in the Arctic. It's very difficult to find songs on this topic, but I found a good approximation: www.youtube.com/watch?v=58XL...

In today's IR class, we discussed international institutions and I brought back the Animaniacs:

Today, we began discussing actors in IR and zoomed in on Arctic states, specifically. There aren't many songs about Arctic states, but this one seemed to fit the bill: www.youtube.com/watch?v=IKfW...

The topic for Tuesday's IR class was postcolonialism. Who better to sing about it than AfroBeat artist Burna Boy?

In today's IR class, we discussed feminism. The best-known song that I thought best covers feminism in IR (specifically) is this: www.youtube.com/watch?v=PHzO...
#americancollegeofnorway #internationalrelations #irplaylist #nodoubt

Oops, I forgot to upload Tuesday's song for the IR playlist :-(
In that class, we discussed Marxism and this song really fits the bill: www.youtube.com/watch?v=UbxU...

In today's IR class, we discussed constructivism. It's really hard to find a song about constructivism, so I chose one that represents the spirit of the time when it went mainstream: www.youtube.com/watch?v=n4Rj...
#americancollegeofnorway #internationalrelations #irplaylist #scorpions

In today's IR class, we also discussed liberalism so here's this theory's theme song:

I'm teaching an IR course at the American College of Norway this semester & am including 1 song for every lesson. Today, I'm introducing the world of states & starting with an oldie-but-goodie #americancollegeofnorway #internationalrelations #IRplaylist #Animaniacs
