24,2,Women and Work in Modern East," Worldwide, women do about 75 percent of the world’s unpaid care and domestic work. They spend up to three hours more per day cooking and cleaning than men do, and anywhere from two to ten hours more per day looking after children and the elderly. Women’s underpaid work at home and in industry subsidized the early stages of industrialization in nineteenth-century Britain, early twentieth-century Japan, and contemporary China, and women’s unpaid contributions to their households enable employers worldwide to keep wages low. We know, at least in outline, how women came to carry double burdens in Europe and North America, but little research has been done so far about this process in East Asia. In this course, we will discuss when and how China, Japan, and Korea developed a division of labor in which most wage work was gendered male and reproductive work was marked female. This course will discuss about current divisions of labor between men and women rooted in local cultures, or are they the result of industrial capitalist development. Moreover, about how do divisions of labor differ between the three East Asian countries, and how did developments in one East Asian country affect others.

25,2,Nuclear Policy," While issues arising from technologies that have both military and civilian applications are not new, the nearly incomprehensible destruction from exploding nuclear weapons focuses the mind as few other dual-use technologies can. This course will examine the development of national policies and the international regimes on the uses of nuclear energy. We will review military doctrine and the plans for nuclear war-fighting as well as the effects on societies of developing and using nuclear weapons. We will review the history of international proliferation of nuclear technology and fissile material and examine efforts to curtail the spread of weapons. In the second part of the course, we will focus on the development of civilian nuclear power and on current policy to prevent accidents and dispose of nuclear waste materials. Political leaders often face policy dilemmas because nuclear technology and materials offer great benefit, as well as presenting great danger. We will explore these dilemmas throughout the course.

28,2,Death & Dying," Death is a universal human experience relevant to all areas of social work practice. Through readings, films, discussions and exercises, students will develop an understanding of the dying experience, as well as the attitudes toward and the approach to death and dying in America. The medical system’s influence on end of life care and the rise of hospice and palliative care will be a focus of this course. The notion of a “good death” and the impact of ethnic, cultural, religious and spiritual influences will be explored, as well as advance care planning and the overarching ethical and moral dilemmas that can arise. While the topics of grief and bereavement are not explicitly covered, time will be devoted to exploring loss across the life course, as well as the impact of violent and sudden deaths on victims and their families. In addition, students will have the opportunity to develop a self-awareness of their own values and beliefs toward dying and death, and explore strategies for self-care.

29,2,Cultural Psychology," There is a substantial portion of the psychological nature of human beings that is neither homogeneous nor fixed across time and space. At the heart of the discipline of cultural psychology is the tenet of psychological pluralism, which states that the study of “normal” psychology is the study of multiple psychologies and not just the study of a single or uniform fundamental psychology for all peoples of the world. Research findings in cultural psychology thus raise provocative questions about the integrity and value of alternative forms of subjectivity across cultural groups. In this course we analyze the concept of “culture” and examine ethnic and cross-cultural variations in mental functioning with special attention to the cultural psychology of emotions, self, moral judgment, categorization, and reasoning.

51,4,World Musics and Culture," This course examines how we as consumers in the “Western” world engage with musical difference largely through the products of the global entertainment industry. We examine music cultures in contact in a variety of ways– particularly as traditions in transformation. Students gain an understanding of traditional music as live, meaningful person-to-person music making, by examining the music in its original site of production, and then considering its transformation once it is removed, and recontextualized in a variety of ways. The purpose of the course is to enable students to become informed and critical consumers of “World Music” by telling a series of stories about particular recordings made with, or using the music of, peoples culturally and geographically distant from the US. Students come to understand that not all music downloads containing music from unfamiliar places are the same, and that particular recordings may be embedded in intriguing and controversial narratives of production and consumption. At the very least, students should emerge from the class with a clear understanding that the production, distribution, and consumption of world music is rarely a neutral process.

52,4,Global Media," This course explores a broad media landscape through new critical and conceptual approaches. It is designated as a Benjamin Franklin Seminar. This course maps the footprints of television at a global scale. Adopting comparative approaches, we will be studying TV’s formation of national and global discourses, and thereby recognizing not only television’s impact on processes of globalization, but also the ability of television to matter globally. Working through concepts of “broadcasting,” “flow,” “circulation,” and “circumvention,” the course examines the movement of (and blocks encountered by) television programs and signals across national borders and cultures. The course particularly focuses on how global television cultures have been transformed due to shifts from broadcasting technologies to (Internet) streaming services? Navigating from United States and Cuba to India and Egypt, the readings in the course illuminate how particular televisual genres, institutions, and reception practices emerged in various countries during specific historical periods.

53,4,Intro to Asian American Studies," According to the U.S. Census, there are approximately 21 million Asian residents in the U.S. that comprise almost 6 percent of the total population. This relatively small number disguises the critical experiences Asian American communities face in both the local and transnational context. Yet, Asian Americans constitute one of the most heterogeneous racial groups within the U.S. Over the course of this semester we will read about and actively discuss the history of Asian immigration to the U.S., the social construction and experience of race in the U.S., and the political, economic, and cultural contributions of Asian Americans. We will also examine how Asian Americans negotiate/deploy their culture and ethnicity to achieve recognition in multicultural America and how the construction of Asian American identity intersects with class, gender, and sexuality.

54,4,Applied Data Analysis," This course will examine how and when data can be used specifically to infer whether there is a causal relationship between two variables. We will emphasize (a) the critical role of an underlying economic theory of behavior in interpreting data and guiding analysis, as well as (b) a range of advanced techniques for inferring causality from data, such as randomized controlled trials, regression discontinuity, difference-in-difference, audit study (mystery shopping) approaches and stock-market event studies. The issue of causality, and the relevance of thinking about models and methods for inferring causality, is just as central and important for “Big Data” as it is when working with traditional data sets in business and public policy. The emphasis will not be on proofs and derivations but rather on understanding the underlying concepts, the practical use, implications and limitations of techniques. Students will work intensively with data, drawing from examples in business and public policy, to develop the skills to use data analysis to make better decisions. All analysis will be conducted using R. The goals of the course are for students to become expert consumers able to interpret and evaluate empirical studies as well as expert producers of convincing empirical analysis themselves.

60,4,Knowledge for Social Impact: Analyzing Current Issues and Approaches," Recent technological changes have raised awareness of the magnitude and devastating long-term effects of poverty, food insecurity, limited and unequal access to education, and other social issues. Coupled with growing awareness of these issues is the emerging sense that traditional government programs and charities may be unable to solve these problems – at least, not alone. What may be needed are new strategies – strategies borne of (a) a deep understanding of the issues; (b) interdisciplinary collaboration; and (c) access to business knowledge, frameworks, and resources. This course is designed to provide the information, strategies, examples, and analytical mindset to make students more rigorous, insightful, and effective in analyzing social ills and crafting potential solutions. Together, a cross-disciplinary group of undergraduate students, including students in Wharton, the College, and other Penn Schools, will examine the nature and extent of two pressing social problems – food insecurity and barriers to post-secondary education – and current approaches to solving these problems.

61,4,Venture Capital and Entrepreneurial," This course focuses on venture capital management issues in the context of a high-growth potential start-up company. The course is motivated by rapid increases in both the supply of and demand for private equity over the past two decades. The topic is addressed from two distinct perspectives: issues that relate to the demand for private equity and venture capital (the entrepreneur’s perspective) on the one hand, and issues that relate to the supply of capital (the investor’s perspective) on the other. As well, we will address management issues that relate to how the VC and the entrepreneur work together once an investment has been made, compensation issues, and governance issues in the privately held venture capital backed company. Format: Case/discussion format, supplemented by lectures and guest speakers. Requirements: Classroom participation, written case assignments, late midterm. Materials: Required Coursepack and supplemental recommended reading.

63,4,Modern Political Thought," This course will provide an overview of major figures and themes of modern political thought. We will focus on themes and questions pertinent to political theory in the modern era, particularly focusing on the relationship of the individual to community, society, and state. Although the emergence of the individual as a central moral, political, and conceptual category arguably began in earlier eras, it is in the seventeenth century that it takes firm hold in defining the state, political institutions, moral thinking, and social relations. The centrality of “the individual” has created difficulties, even paradoxes, for community and social relations, and political theorists have struggled to reconicle those throughout the modern era. We will consider the political forms that emerged out of those struggles, as well as the changed and distinctly “modern” conceptualizations of political theory such as freedom, responsibilty, justice, rights and obligations, as central categories for organizing moral and political life.

66,4,Digital Democracy," Technological infrastructure shapes what forms of political life are possible within a society. Political campaigns, investigative journalism, public engagement, protest, government – all unfold on different time scales, in different forms, and with different consequences depending on what machines mediate them. This course explores the forms of American political life that have taken shape in and through modern digital computing. We will investigate especially a perceived tension at the heart of computing technologies – from artificial intelligence to social media – as they have been introduced to so many corners of American political life: Are computing technologies agents of liberation, or of control? The internet, for example, was embraced by some as an inherently democratizing and liberating force, giving users equal access to voice and information. On the other hand, many feared the internet as an unprecedented platform for corporate and government surveillance and manipulation. This course will analyze and historicize this tension, looking to unpack the complex and controversial role of computers in American political life from the Cold War to @POTUS.

67,4,Narrative Across Cultures," The purpose of this course is to present a variety of narrative genres and to discuss and illustrate the modes whereby they can be analyzed. We will be looking at shorter types of narrative: short stories, novellas, and fables, and also some extracts from longer works such as autobiographies.

81,5,Trust–and Mistrust," Trust involves a tension. On the one hand, we must build trust on the basis of its absence. On the other hand, trust is best built when a measure of it already exists between those who are trying to strengthen it. What is trust, such that violations of it yield a sense of betrayal rather than mere disappointment? What is the relation between epistemic and practical trust? When, if ever, is it rational to place one’s trust in someone, some group or some thing – or to mistrust them? Can philosophers be proponents of the value of trust without ceding our role as critical, skeptical, even mistrustful thinkers? The topic has timely social and political implications. Liberal democracy depends upon citizens trusting that they share a common world and set of institutions enabling them to negotiate differences fairly. The aim of enemies of democracy is to sow doubts in the public so as to undermine trust in democratic institutions. This invites a consideration of phenomena such as polarization, epistemic bubbles, echo chambers, populism, conspiracy theories, “truth decay,” and even the idea of “a post-truth culture.” In the face of these challenges, how can we hope to rebuild trust in one another and democratic institutions?

111,7,Natural Resource Conflicts in Asia and the Pacific," Violent conflicts over natural resources are an enduring feature of social and political life at different scales and levels of organisation. The inter-state and geopolitical dimensions of conflicts over resources such as oil and water loom large in the popular imaginary. However, resource conflicts in the global South are predominantly fought internally, within the boundaries of the nation-state. Indeed, according to the United Nations, at least 40 percent of internal conflicts globally are related to natural resources. It is these sorts of conflicts that are the focus of this course.  A striking conundrum lies at the heart of the inquiry: rather than contributing to peace and prosperity, empirical research demonstrates that natural resource wealth increases the likelihood that a country will experience internal armed conflict. How and why is this the case? What about the role of resource scarcity as driver of violent conflict in developing-country contexts? What sort of policy responses and interventions are available? How might natural resource wealth contribute to peace rather than to conflict? What is the role of political and economic contestation in these struggles over land and natural resources?  The course will be structured around a series of case studies drawn from Southeast Asia and the Pacific Islands. A political ecology framework will be applied to the analysis of how land and different types of resource complexes – including mining, oil and gas, forestry, and oil palm – can be implicated in violent conflict. Alongside these case studies, students will undertake their own analysis of a natural resource conflict in which they will be attentive to the role of different actors – especially the state, communities and corporations – and to questions of scale, power and identity.  The course will have a very strong research-led approach to teaching and learning. In addition to core expertise housed in SSGM, it draws upon expertise from other parts of the Coral Bell School and the Crawford School. In addition to the involvement of some of these scholars in class room teaching, the assessment for the course will enable students to engage with them in innovative ways.

117,7,"Traditional Australian Indigenous Cultures, Societies and Environment","  Pre-invasion Indigenous cultures have long been seen as the social, economic and ecological prototype of the hunting and gathering way of life. The aim of this course is to convey a basic anthropological understanding of the customary or ‘traditional’ practices and beliefs as they were at the threshold of colonisation and to critically engage with representations while respecting First Peoples’ insights and perspectives. We will focus on relationality, and in particular the multiple ways in which connectivity underpins Indigenous worldviews. Exploring these issues also means exploring the intellectual struggles non-Indigenous people have had and continue to have to come to terms with Indigenous societies and cultures, as well as understanding why and how Indigenous social and cultural practices capture the scholarly imagination. .

118,7,"Global Citizen: Culture, Development and Inequality"," Just how involved are we are on a daily basis with the processes, the politics, the social and economic relations and the other formations that constitute this complex and slightly scary thing called globalisation? Beginning with some of the things that are closest and most familiar to us – including the clothes on our backs – we’re going to start at the ground and trace upwards the links that attach us to far off countries, economies, sites of production and fellow humans. In this way, we will trace our own map of the world system and get some sort of critical understanding of how we slot into it. In the process, we will ask ‘Is there a more ethical way for us to approach some of those core global practices in which we all participate: consumption, tourism, inhabiting the city, and using the internet and social media?’ How, in this immensely complex context, are we to be good global citizens?   In the process of doing this we will learn the fundamental concepts anthropologists and other social scientists use to make sense of globalisation’s exciting new cultural and social forms and its not so exciting new forms of exploitation and inequality. The focus will be on understanding the language of the anthropology of globalisation, and the practical and critical application of its key concepts to real life global issues. We will use an innovative team based learning approach in which students help each other workshop the weekly readings and carry out critical and interpretive activities in class based on real life case studies.

121,8,"AI, Ethics and the Law"," This subject investigates the role of ethics and law in responding to the opportunities, challenges and risks raised by increasingly widespread use in society of artificial intelligence (AI) and related computational processes. Techniques such as expert systems, machine learning, neural networks, natural language processing, and machine vision are affecting almost every aspect of modern society. In particular, these techniques are changing the way in which government and business make decisions and the interaction between humans and machines in almost all facets of life. These developments have many beneficial consequences. They also raise a host of concerns, including about the impact of AI on privacy, employment, interpersonal relationships, and human rights. Developing technical, ethical and legal responses to these kinds of technologies, and those have yet to be developed, requires cross disciplinary insights, including from the humanities, science, design, economics, computing, and law.

125,8,Food for a Healthy Planet II," This interdisciplinary subject recognises and explores the intricate link between food, human health, and the sustainability of our planet. As the world is becoming increasingly urbanised and citizens are becoming more affluent, people are turning towards unhealthy “Western-style” diets characterised by high-energy, nutrient-poor processed and refined foods. This shift in dietary patterns has led to an increased morbidity burden due to obesity and other non-communicable diseases. Thus, there is an urgent need to address diet-related health problems created by under/over-nutrition and poor dietary practices by tackling the underlying scientific, technological, policy, regulatory, cultural, and economic determinants, and obstacles to creating healthy food and food systems.  Human diets inextricably link health and environmental sustainability. The present food system is one of the main causes of resource depletion and unacceptable environmental impacts, and is responsible for one-third of global greenhouse gas emissions. Thus, meeting nutritional needs for improved health while staying within “planetary boundaries” is the biggest challenge for humanity.  Solving the problem of providing enough healthy food for all while maintaining environmental health requires a radical shift to a global food system that needs to draw on knowledge and skills from the many disciplines of both Science and Humanities.  Eminent scholars will teach students from across the full range of disciplines in arts, biosciences, nutrition, medicine, agricultural science, and economics, plus practitioners from the food, nutrition, farm industry and the natural resource sector. Students will learn and develop methods to frame and discuss complex food and health-related issues through team exercises with fellow students.

130,8,Thinking Tools for Wicked Problems," Responding critically and ethically to contemporary issues, whether they be of local, national or global significance, requires one to go beyond the mere discovering of ‘facts’ and determining of ‘truths’. What one does with these ‘facts’ and ‘truths’ is equally important. What we claim to know may be helpfully understood in its emergence from and application to highly complex and seemingly intractable problems. Addressing such ‘wicked problems’ thoughtfully and collaboratively can reveal the nature of knowledge: how it is generated, how it is applied and contested, and what purposes it serves. Research areas in the Humanities, The Arts and the Social Sciences (HASS) as well as Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) will be introduced and problematised.  Building on the ideas or C. S. Peirce, John Dewey and Matthew Lipman, this interdisciplinary subject will therefore focus on developing effective communities of inquiry, where the use of critical but cumulative talk is favored and where good questioning, in‐depth knowledge, sound reasoning and self‐reflection is applied to addressing and critically appraising wicked problems.  To this end, the subject will examine wicked problems arising from a wide range of disciplinary areas and cultural perspectives, including: climate change skepticism, Indigenous knowledges, fake news, and major societal issues and innovations arising from recent advances in Science, Technology, and the Arts.

131,8,Drugs that Shape Society," Drugs that Shape Society is a compelling story of drugs that provides insight to us as individuals and as a society. Drugs impact our lives in many different ways. Social responses to their use have shaped our laws, the health system, commerce – even foreign policies. In Australia the use of therapeutic drugs is carefully regulated to maintain cost and safety, some recreational drugs are taxed heavily to provide government income, while others are banned and huge costs are incurred attempting to prevent their use. Other countries have a different blend of risk, responsibility and regulation.  Drugs that Shape Society is a University breadth subject available to all second-year students. Using a case-study approach, students will explore the scientific, social, historical and legal issues associated with alcohol, opiates, tobacco, penicillin and thalidomide.  Any drug use carries risk – medical, social, ethical and legal. Who has been, or is, responsible for managing that risk? What is the role of policy and regulation in minimising risk and assigning responsibility? These questions will be explored by consideration of the scientific, ethical and economic factors determining drug development; the addictive nature of certain drugs, the striking contrasts between drug marketing strategies, ranging from illegal dealing to professional multi-facted advertising; and the risks associated with legal and illicit drug use and abuse.  Lectures will provide basic information about the processes leading to the development of the drugs, their mechanism of action, the historical context of their impact on society, and how this has been handled legally. Tutorials and small group work will allow students to discuss and debate the issues raised and to put them into the context of their own experiences.

149,10,Interior Architecture,"  Interior Architecture at UNSW is positioned as a research-led creative practice which focuses on the design and agency of the inhabited interiors of the built environment, from the scale of the room to the scale of the city, from permanent to temporary spaces.    Our agenda is to imagine, debate and test the contemporary interior as a key agent in the production of the built environment. We consider the interior as a dynamic and open-ended conceptual space through which the human scale and experiences inherent in the private and public spaces of our urban environments can be interrogated and projected. Through a focus on material and spatial assembly, agency and affect, we foster an agile and critical approach to design enquiry, underpinned by an informed appreciation of the environmental, cultural and historic contexts of interior architecture and design.

218,14,The Energy Trilemma,"  Global energy markets are in a period of dramatic transition. The emergence of shale gas, mostly notably in the US, has been disruptive to the industry, leading to falling oil prices. This has challenged the long-time dominant position of international oil companies (e.g. BP, Shell, ExxonMobil) in the petroleum sector. Natural gas has emerged as a potentially important ‘bridging fuel’ to a low carbon future, with several leading national economiesincluding China, making the switch from carbon-intensive oil and coal to this ‘lower-carbon’ alternative. Away from oil and gas, renewable energy sources are becoming increasingly cost competitive and are gaining societal and governmental support. The energy transition alters the global dynamics of energy security, with some countries finding their energy independence challenged, whilst others enjoy the economic growth that is inherently linked to energy abundance. A similar distinction can be made between populations with regards to energy equity: the accessibility and affordability of energy, and as with energy security this too is in a state of flux due to changing market conditions. These three dimensions: sustainability, energy security and energy equity constitute an ‘energy trilemma’; the focus of this module. The module addresses the challenges posed by the trilemma to national, regional and local economies, and in developing, emerging and developed economic contexts. In addition to the trilemma’s aforementioned dimensions, the module will also consider concerns of energy efficiency, ‘green growth’, sustainable energy governance and cooperation, and technology and infrastructure. In this regard, the module will broaden the student’s knowledge and understanding of the key issues around the UN’s Sustainable Development Goal 7.

222,14,Sustainable Cities," In 1913 10% of the world’s population lived in cities (UN-HABITAT, 2011), in 2018 this had increased to an estimated 55% (UN 2018). Urban areas are expected to absorb virtually all future population growth (UN 2018) and by 2030 are projected to accommodate 60% of the global population: one-third of which will live in cities with at least half a million inhabitants (UN 2018).   Despite covering only 2% of the world’s landmass, cities produce 70% of total carbon emissions, over half of the world’s GDP, are locations of often stark inequality and are uniquely vulnerable to a changing climate, as a result of their concentrated population and infrastructure.

248,16,Biology in the movies," The grand challenge in biology is not to achieve a deeper understanding of profound subjects. Instead, it matters much more to ensure that science is taken seriously. Advances in technology typically outpace the public’s version of the underlying science, leading to public distrust and confusion about the actual benefits and risks involved. Popular culture, particularly movies, often misrepresent scientific facts for entertainment and is usually viewed as part of the problem. However, some films offer excellent opportunities for teachers to draw connections and parallels between entertaining movie science and exciting real-world science. This course was designed for non-biology majors to show how biology themes were used to teach essential ideas. For example, whether DNA is sufficient to create life, how life evolves, what cloning is, and how bionics could improve/impact our future life. Students will additionally explore public misconceptions and naiveté about science perpetuated by movies, as well as the extent to which such films borrow from or, in some cases, even predict scientific facts. This course requires bi-weekly screenings of a feature-length movie before the lectures in the classroom. Films and topics are organized around biological themes. Discussion of films that feature different biological transformations will focus on three aspects—first, distinguishing between science fiction and science fact. Second, understanding the uses of the underlying principles in scientific research, and third, exploring real-world analogies to such fictional concepts as fly-human chimeras and reconstructed dinosaurs.

Are there objective facts about the geometry of space, or are they in some way conventional? Are pastness, presentness, and futurity consistent notions? Do the past or future exist in the way the present exists? Do I have temporal parts as well as spatial parts if time is in many ways analogous to space? Is time travel possible? Is presentness compatible with special relativity given that the latter allows no absolute simultaneity? Could it be that the fundamental world is entirely timeless?

254,16,Ancient Greek and Introduction to the Sciences of the Antiquity," The study of the Antiquity in the classical sense started to develop into sciences of the Antiquity (Alterumswissenschaften) from the 19th century onwards. The current investigation of the ancient history must also be replaced into this larger framework of research, which puts the material culture and archaeological context on the same footing as the texts themselves. The sciences of the Antiquity comprise the classical philology (of which the main tasks are the study of the textual transmission and the establishment of texts), historical linguistics, palaeolography, rhetoric, epigraphy, papyrology, onomastics, chronology and calendars, numismatics, ceramology, field archaeology and iconography. However, as the classical philology remains the foundation of the Altertumswissenschaften and the knowledge of languages constitutes the very basis of philology, the present course aims at teaching ancient Greek and introducing to the history of the texts. Selective explorations into other branches of the sciences of the Antiquity will serve as learning auxiliaries. This course can hopefully also help students better understand, from its roots, the Western civilization from the Renaissance to the present day.

In addition, the creatures, adapted to different climates, are able to survive in Taiwan. Taiwan is also known from high percentage of endemic species. This is because in the Ice Age, Taiwan was connected to Eurasia. After the Ice Age, Taiwan was isolated by the ocean, and many lives gradually evolved into endemic species on the island. Nowadays, the proportion of endemic species in Taiwan is about 71% in mammals, 17% in birds, 22% in reptiles, 31% in amphibian, 19% in freshwater fish, 25% in plants, and 60% in insects. Although the land area of Taiwan is only 0.027% of the total of the world, the number of species is as high as 3.8%, which is 150 times the global average. Furthermore, the marine species around Taiwan are about 10% of the world, which is 361 times the average. Taiwan is not a country with large territory, while its rich biological resources are such amazing.

This module will introduce you to a range of approaches (lectures, reading, tutorials and place-based case studies) to explore how travel and mobility contribute to quality of life. It also considers how transport activity causes a range of problems for the wellbeing of society and the environment that have moved it up the political and media agenda in recent decades. No previous study of transport is required for taking the module. You simply need a broad interest in understanding the issues of transport, mobility, accessibility and how they affect society and the environment. The module is appropriate to a wide range of disciplines and perspectives. It is particularly relevant for those studying geography, and for degree programmes related to civil engineering, business, social science and the environment.

366,24,Science & Society: An Ethical View," Advances in science have profoundly changed how we view ourselves, how we view the world, and how we live in societies. Scientists are called on to tackle the biggest challenges facing us now, such as climate change and the Covid-19 crisis. This is because the scientific method is widely understood as the most reliable route to knowledge. Any negative effects from scientific advancement, such as the predicted disruption from widespread use of AI, are seen as necessary for progress. But are there limits to what scientific thinking can help us solve? Is more and better science always the answer? Why is it good to be scientific? Are there ever reasonable grounds for distrusting science? These kinds of questions are about the value, purpose, and ethics of science. Because they cannot be answered by the scientific method, they may rarely be considered by scientists themselves.  This module – co-taught by scientists from the Chemistry school, and ethicists from the IDEA Centre, with expertise in online teaching methods – will allow you to explore the inter-relation between science and ethics. We look at the theory of science, and explore real-world developments and industry practices, to understand what good and bad science looks like.We will consider questions such as: is the scientific method the superior method for finding answers, or does it have limits? How can science be misused, and the work of scientists be morally compromised? Is it possible to judge the contribution of science to society on a moral basis, or is morality just a matter of subjective opinion? Should scientists be allowed to pursue knowledge for the sake of it, or should they work for the interests of society? In taking this module, you will learn about the science underpinning real-world problems, alongside philosophical and ethical theories, while developing skills in debate, analysis, and critical argument, to help you develop your own answers to those questions.

367,24,Introduction to Psychology," This module will cover key and current concepts within the subject of Psychology. Psychology is the science of the mind. It is a science because it aims to explain the greatest number of facts with the fewest number of assumptions, its hypotheses should be falsifiable by empirical tests, and its theories are connected to other sciences. The relevance of Psychology is very important to everyday life.  This introduction to psychology will touch on some of the classic controversies including nature and nurture, the relationship between brain and mind, different approaches to understanding mental health, and how we process, store and use information about ourselves and other people. The approach embraces the diversity of perspectives within the discipline including experimental, cognitive, and developmental psychology, as well as biology and philosophy.

369,24,History of Psychology," Can there be a science of the mind?- If so, what should it look like? Since the nineteenth century, the most extraordinary range of answers has been given to these questions. The phrenologists, for instance, turned psychology into the study of bumps on the skull, on the view that your particular set of bumps would reveal your unique talents and character. The psychoanalysts turned psychology into the study of the unconscious, where, they said, your mind locks away wishes and impulses too shameful to be acted upon. The behaviourists turned psychology into the study of reactions to stimuli, attempting to show that your environment made you who you are and, if changed, could remake you.- How did these different understandings of what psychology is come into being? – Why did each have its moment of popularity, only to be overtaken by a new answer? – Where does the truth lie? In this module we will be looking not just at a remarkable set of ideas about what psychology is, but at the people behind the ideas, from Darwin to Freud to Chomsky and beyond. Anyone curious to know more about the mind and its study will enjoy this module. There are no prerequisites.

407,27,Introduction to Art,"  ARTH 100 provides an introduction to the history of art from prehistory to the present, through selected topics, rather than a comprehensive survey. Areas covered usually include prehistoric art, art of the Near East and Egypt, ancient Greek and Roman art, medieval art culminating with the Gothic, Renaissance art both in Italy and northern Europe, Baroque and Rococo art, and modern developments often highlighting Romanticism, Impressionism, Cubism, Dada, Surrealism, Abstract Expressionism, Pop, Feminist, and contemporary art. The course also introduces selected artistic traditions in Africa, Asia and the Americas. The course is designed to meet two principal goals. The first is to increase students’ powers of visual analysis and to help them build a critical vocabulary for discussing an art object’s medium, composition, style, and iconography. The second is to foster an understanding of the deep implication of the visual arts in their social and cultural contexts, both historical and contemporary. The course therefore involves significant material relating to political, economic and religious issues. It investigates problems in patronage, function, reception and censorship. It considers such intra- and cross-cultural issues as representations of gender and the incorporation of non-European art forms into the Western tradition. Requirements typically include examinations combining short answer and essay questions, and one paper based library research or intensive examination of an actual work of art.

410,27,Environmental Science," We are living in extraordinary times. Our numbers have now become so large, our power so great, and our consumption so rampant that we are despoiling our home. Indeed, over the past half-century environmental scientists have been calling attention to the deterioration of Earth’s atmosphere, Earth’s oceans, Earth’s forests and Earth’s soils, along with the loss of Earth’s biodiversity, from the tropics to the poles. The evidence is unequivocal: Planet Earth is under duress. Though we need Earth for our survival, Earth does not need us! So, will Earth shake us into oblivion or will we wake up, before it is too late, and become respectful members of Earth’s community of life? This is a critical question for humankind as a whole; and it is the reason that BISC 3 exists at Penn State. So it is that, in this course, we will explore the root causes of today’s environmental crisis and, in so doing, consider scientific, technological, sociological, psychological and personal responses to what is, arguable, the most significant crisis in the history of our species. If you commit to fully engaging with this course, you can expect to: 1-Discover how questions can be powerful catalysts for learning; 2-Grow in your ability to see both yourself and Planet Earth from new and liberating perspectives; 3-Appreciate the power of critical thinking and personal reflection as a means to both personal and global transformation 4-Realize that you, should you choose, can play a significant role in the healing of our world.

The course combines the study of concepts and theories with a range of questions about global politics, including: Why bother with theory? Have we reached ‘the end of history’? Why is the world divided in nation-states? What factors influence the foreign policy of states? Is the sovereign state in decline? What is the ‘new world (dis)order’? Are we experiencing a ‘clash of civilisations’? Why do wars occur? Is there such a thing as a just war? What are the causes of terrorism? How is the world organised economically? Do transnational corporations rule the world? Is free trade the solution to global poverty? What are the main global threats of the 21st century? These and other questions will be explored through the examination of a wide range of contemporary issues and case studies, including: the rise of China; the resurgence of Russia; the nuclear threat posed by North Korea; the tensions in the South China Sea; the role of the United Nations; the future of the European Union, particularly after Brexit; the increasing power of transnational corporations, such as Wal-Mart, Google and Facebook; the terrorist threat posed by Al-Qaeda and Islamic State; the ongoing conflicts in Syria and Palestine; the humanitarian crisis in Myanmar; the role of the United States in global politics, particularly since the election of Donald Trump; the impact of global pandemics (such as COVID-19); and the multiple threats posed by climate change in the 21st century.

453,30,Cyber-Politics: Politics & the Internet Revolution,"    The course examines how the digital age has transformed politics around the world. Information and communication technologies have deeply changed both the private and public spheres, the internet has radically changed the way people communicate with each other and interact with the state and private corporations. It has reshaped our economies, and created new opportunities for political engagement and organization. Citizens use the internet to organise protests and boycotts, but the internet is also a space where individuals may become radicalised. It provides a democratised platform for the production and consumption of information, but also lends itself to the proliferation of “fake news”, echo chambers and hate speech. Governments attempt to enact laws that control, censor, or monitor online interactions. But private corporations are similarly interested to control and utilize the internet to gather data on current and future consumers, and to exploit commercial opportunities. Similar opportunities are also sought by criminal actors, who seek to use the internet to pursue criminal, aggressive and terrorist activities. How, then, ought the internet be governed? Who should have authority to control internet access and content? In this course, we will explore this complex web of relations, dangers and opportunities by tackling questions such as: should the internet be censored, and by whom? Should hate speech be prohibited? Who should control access to the internet? Should Facebook be nationalised? What is the value of privacy? What impact is the internet, and particularly social media, having on the human experience? What is cybersecurity and how do we achieve it? Does internet communication favour populist and authoritarian leaders? How do these issues relate to one another and to conceptions of network neutrality more generally?

485,32,Unravelling Britain: British History since 1801,"  Over the last two centuries, Britain has changed beyond recognition. From the industrial revolution to the sexual revolution, new forces have transformed the lives of ordinary men and women. The rise and fall of the British Empire, a series of global wars and migration to and from Britain challenged what it meant to be British, while political institutions became increasingly democratic. In the sciences, the theory of evolution, the invention of television and the coming of the atom bomb offered exciting and sometimes terrifying possibilities, with far-reaching effects on British society. New forms of leisure emerged, while attitudes towards homosexuality, race, religion and the rights of women have been redrawn.    This module provides a rich introduction to modern British history, from 1801 to the present day. If you have not previously studied the period, it will give you the foundation for specialist modules in subsequent years. If you have some prior knowledge, it will challenge you with new interpretations from the cutting edge of historical research.    The module introduces you to new critical approaches to the subject and draws extensively on primary sources such as film, pop music and visual imagery. It has a strong global dimension, showing how crises in India, Asia and Africa shaped the ‘British World’.    By the end of the module, you will have developed new skills in source analysis while challenging your preconceptions about modern Britain. Above all, we hope to enthuse you with the richness and diversity of British history, and the possibilities it offers for further study.

534,35,Conceptualizing German Identity: From Colonial towards Post-Colonial Diversity," This course is designed to introduce students to the wide interdisciplinary perspective on diversity, politics of belonging and the status of citizenship of people within the African Diaspora in Berlin. Historically, the settlement of migrant groups and the formation of minority ethnic groups have changed the socio-cultural, political and economic fabric of receiving societies. As a result, the relationship between migration, social cohesion, and national German identity has become an increasingly contentious political issue. The course will travel through the hidden geography of the so-called Afrikanisches Viertel in Berlin and focus on issues around public space, monuments, and street names from the 1960s to the present day that have anchored German colonialism. We will consider the relationship between colonialism and white supremacy in Germany, whilst examining the ongoing debate around how German (anti-)racism has been influenced by earlier colonial ideology and practice. We will turn to the resurgence of colonialism as a theme in recent literature and historiography and examine the state of play in contemporary (international) debates about the colonial past.

559,37,Global Families and Intimacy," Family and intimate relationships form a crucial part of everyday social life. We are born into family and intimate relationships. We establish, maintain and dissolve family and intimate bonds over the life course. We navigate our changing relationship with parents, siblings, and relatives. We establish, maintain and re-establish intimate ties with partners and perhaps children.   But what are ‘families’? What makes intimate relationships ‘intimate’? How do people date, marry, separate, divorce, and re-partner? How do people ‘do’ families and intimacy in the everyday vicissitudes of match-making, romance, conflicts, care, money, domestic labour, and power? Why do people practise families and intimacy as they do? How do broader social, economic, political and cultural institutions configure our ‘private’ lives? How do the ways in which we relate to family members and intimate others shape the societies in which we live?   In an increasingly interconnected world, family and intimate relationships — personal and private as they are — are increasingly shaped by social forces operating on a global scale. The changing forms and practices of families and intimacy also help shape social trends as grandeur as globalisation.   In this module, we explore theoretical and empirical issues pertaining to the resilience and transformation of family and intimate relationships in a global context.

572,37,Management and Organisation in Context,"  The aim of this module is to begin your exploration of the ideas and practices of management, work and organisation in contemporary society, and to introduce you to the conceptual and critical tools that you can use to evaluate the knowledge and views you will encounter. This module will not teach you ‘how to manage’. Management as a practice is not one that can be learned from simplistic, step-by-step guides, though many exist (one of our objectives is to encourage you to critique such approaches). Whilst some elements of organisation, management and specialist roles (such as accounting, operations management or marketing) can usefully deploy systematic techniques and procedures, our focus here is on how people are organised and managed and how they experience that. Such processes and experiences cannot be reduced to ‘management made simple’, because it isn’t. We regard management and organisation as elements of cultural and social processes that we have come to regard as ‘normal’ and ‘natural’ in the sense of being taken for granted. As such we consider the historical development of management ideas and how those ideas develop and work in the contemporary context.

574,37,Geographies of Health: understanding and tackling inequity," Health and healthcare are central to living a good life yet huge inequalities can be seen, whether locally to Lancaster in the North-West of England or in the Global South. In this module, students will gain an in-depth understanding of the concepts, methods and applications of Health Geographies. Geographers and scholars from related disciplines have made important contributions to defining these inequalities as ethically unacceptable (i.e. inequitable), and providing insights into their causes (political, social, economic and environmental). Geographical thought and research also provides useful tools for developing and critically analysing appropriate policy responses to tackling these inequities. Following an introduction to the diverse geographies of health, we then spend three weeks of lectures and seminars exploring health inequalities in depth, taking a justice perspective as our starting point. We examine the social and economic determinants of health and disease in both the Global North and Global South and also start to interrogate the ‘causes of the causes’ using a political economy approach. In Week 5 we overview the (somewhat contradictory) geographies of healthcare and delivery including critical ‘biopolitical’ perspectives on the state’s role in maintaining its citizens as well as using GIS and other technologies to design efficient and effective health-care delivery. Subsequently, we spend the next 4 weeks applying the theories and approaches covered so-far to four important and exciting frontiers in health geography. These draw on critical works in medical anthropology (knowledge and power); human geography (mental health, space and place); a global health priority – the persistent and emerging nutritional changes facing children in the 21st century; inter-disciplinary environmental sciences (albeit we adopt a more critical perspective on understanding the health impacts of climate change). The final week is dedicated to consolidating the material introduced with the first nine weeks activities in which the task is to link across the diverse theoretical approaches to health within the field of health geography, drawing on a range of case studies covering a place, social group or disease. ","geographies of health: understanding and tackling inequity. health and healthcare are central to living a good life yet huge inequalities can be seen, whether locally to lancaster in the north-west of england or in the global south. in this module, students will gain an in-depth understanding of the concepts, methods and applications of health geographies. geographers and scholars from related disciplines have made important contributions to defining these inequalities as ethically unacceptable (i.e. inequitable), and providing insights into their causes (political, social, economic and environmental). geographical thought and research also provides useful tools for developing and critically analysing appropriate policy responses to tackling these inequities. following an introduction to the diverse geographies of health, we then spend three weeks of lectures and seminars exploring health inequalities in depth, taking a justice perspective as our starting point. we examine the social and economic determinants of health and disease in both the global north and global south and also start to interrogate the ‘causes of the causes’ using a political economy approach. in week 5 we overview the (somewhat contradictory) geographies of healthcare and delivery including critical ‘biopolitical’ perspectives on the state’s role in maintaining its citizens as well as using gis and other technologies to design efficient and effective health-care delivery. subsequently, we spend the next 4 weeks applying the theories and approaches covered so-far to four important and exciting frontiers in health geography. these draw on critical works in medical anthropology (knowledge and power); human geography (mental health, space and place); a global health priority – the persistent and emerging nutritional changes facing children in the 21st century; inter-disciplinary environmental sciences (albeit we adopt a more critical perspective on understanding the health impacts of climate change). the final week is dedicated to consolidating the material introduced with the first nine weeks activities in which the task is to link across the diverse theoretical approaches to health within the field of health geography, drawing on a range of case studies covering a place, social group or disease.","health geographies geographers, geographies health understanding, health geographies, contradictory geographies healthcare, geographies health, health geography, applications health geographies","health geographies geographers, geographies health understanding, health geographies, geographies health, health geography, geographies, geography","health geographies, global health priority, geographical thought, medical anthropology, inequity, critical perspective, citizens"

576,37,Structuring Complex Problems," Issues and problems in the complex world of management do not necessarily arise in a well structured form. People often do not know what they want or what is possible. Further, they may disagree about what they are trying to achieve and the means for arriving at their goals. Much thinking needs to be done in order to define an appropriate framework within which a useful analysis or project can be carried out.  Various approaches have been developed in recent years to assist in this task, often referred to as problem structuring methods (PSMs). They are very practically oriented methodologies that typically involve the management team to help facilitate the structuring of complex situations. They place emphasis on dialogue to think through strategic problems, identify the salient issues, formulate goals and negotiate action plans. This course will introduce you to several PSMs and some of the process skills to use them.

It aims to show how the Irish landscape can be read as a document to reveal many clues about Irish identity, whether that be ancient, medieval or modern. The module is focused on the idea of heritage: cultural landscape as a key element of Irish heritage. It is not based on traditional classroom lectures but on on fieldtrips, supported by materials available through our Virtual Learning Environment. But the best way to understand a landscape is to visit it, thinking and reading about it in advance and then thinking and reading about it again having experienced it. Two fieldtrips are normally part of this module, both concentrating on ancient and medieval landscapes within reach of Dublin by coach.

688,46,Intro to Celtic Civilization,"  This introductory module provides students with an overview of the origins, languages, literatures and mythologies of the Celts from prehistoric to medieval times. It forms a solid foundation from which students can progress to study the legacy of the Celts in greater detail at stages 2 and 3. The first half of the module begins with a survey of the main periods of Celtic archaeology and then considers how the Celts were portrayed by Classical Greek and Roman authors, our only written sources for the history of ancient Celtic Europe. Following this, English translations of legal and historical texts composed in Ireland from the seventh century onwards are drawn upon to build up a picture of life in the medieval Celtic world, considering topics such as the structure of early Irish society and the role of women.   In the second half of the module, students will be introduced to the main genres of early Irish literature. This rich tradition will complement insights gained in the first half of the module. Students will focus on reading texts within the contemporary medieval context and will become familiar with the diversity of the early Irish literary tradition. The module will also address recent scholarship in relation to the interpretation of the relevant literature.  Following an examination of approaches and sources, the module will focus on selected genres. One approach categorises the literature into four main sections. These are: The Ulster Cycle, the Mythological Cycle, the Fenian Cycle and the Cycle of the Kings. Students will also examine particular tale types involving voyages, death, love and other central themes.  All texts will be read in translation, supported by critical reading, and no previous knowledge of a Celtic language is required. Beginners’ modules in medieval Irish and Welsh are also available for those wishing to study the languages of the primary sources.

689,46,Vikings in the Celtic World,"  This course will consider the Viking experience of the Celtic-speaking lands and how the Vikings, through both confrontation and collaboration, had a transformative impact on that world between c. 780-1020. The Vikings were largely a silent people and it is largely through the eyes of those they encountered ‘peoples who were already literate’ that we first get to know them. Many of our enduring images of the Vikings are based on sources from the Celtic world, and some of the earliest and most complete accounts of the initial Viking raids are found in the Irish annals.   As the Vikings become a permanent presence in these lands, the Celtic and Norse views of the spiritual, heroic and economic world intersected and, at times, collided. We will look at the manner in which the Vikings are treated in literature and how this changes over time. We will trace the survival of rituals and beliefs brought from Scandinavia as exemplified by the decorated slabs and burials on the Isle of Man, where legends from Norse mythology feature on Christian crosses and a warrior was buried with a sacrificed slave.  There were personalities, both Norse and Celtic, who straddled both worlds, and many of these men and women were nurtured in both traditions and reflect the enduring and transforming contacts made through intermarriage, fosterage and political alliances.  The emergence of new dynasties and kingdoms is a product of the special circumstances of this period and we will consider how they arise and what their impact was on the wider Norse and Celtic worlds. Towns develop in the west and the north as a result of the Vikings’ new raiding/trading activities, and the connections between the contemporary developments of Dublin, Waterford and Limerick in Ireland and Kaupang, Birka and Hedeby in Scandinavia will be surveyed.  This multifaceted course will provide students with a clear understanding of this fascinating and dynamic period in the history of the Norse and Celtic worlds.

690,46,Kings and Heroes of Early Irl,"  The Ulster Cycle tales are among the best-known narratives of Early Irish literature (c. 700-1200 AD). The tales depict the heroic society of pagan Ireland and the rivalry for supremacy between Ulster and Connacht. We will study, in translation, not just the centre-piece of the cycle (The ‘Táin’ or ‘Cattle Raid of Cooley’), but also other major and minor tales, which offer an introduction to the wide variety of themes, genres, and literary styles of one branch of this uniquely early literature. Among the most attractive and accessible of the Early Irish tales are those dealing with the lives of legendary or early historical kings and heroes, such as Cormac mac Airt, about whom many tales have survived. We will read these sagas in translation, to discover how legendary and historical kings are presented as admirable or otherwise, what the desirable characteristics of an ideal king were, and how the demands of kingship were reconciled with the king’s human needs. More generally we consider what were the pressing concerns of the social and political ruling elites of Early Ireland, and how how they were encoded and explored in a memorable literature.

734,49,Politics," Key elements of modern international relations. Origins and dynamics of the Cold War system, regional developments, the emerging post-Cold War world, perennial international issues and contending analytical perspectives.  The aim of this paper is to introduce students to the field of post-war international relations. Strictly defined, the subject of international relations is concerned with the study of relations among the world’s national governments and non-state actors. But such relations cannot be understood in isolation from the context of the international system where they are formed.

However, a broader definition which understands globalization as an economic, social, and cultural process of growing communication, interdependence, and change suggests that it dates back to the early modern era, when the Atlantic expansion of Europe in particular produced ever closer links of growing intercontinental interdependence. This “first globalization” led to the exploitation of entire peoples and the forced migration of others, as well as to different forms of contact among diverse cultures, which gave rise to a wide range of extra-local mixtures, hybrids and conflicts.

813,55,Infectious Disease Epidemiology and Prevention," The discipline of infectious disease epidemiology focuses on the acquisition of essential scientific  and advisory knowledge and skills to contribute to healthcare. To have collective decision  making between institutes and hospitals concerning infectious diseases and outbreaks , it is  necessary to have knowledge about prevention, disease characteristics, containment, modelling,  sequencing, rational antimicrobial treatment and control of infectious diseases in both hospital  and community settings. Additionally, differences between communities are key in  understanding the epidemiology of an outbreak, for example hesitance and variety in low/high  resources facilities. Outbreak management, comparable to what we have experienced during  the coronavirus outbreak, will be discussed.  This course prepares students for a research and clinical internship in the area of infectious diseases and infection control. All knowledge gained through the varied forms of education, will be directly translated and used in a research team project. The course uses various interactive and experience-based teaching manners, such as lectures, group work, presentations, joining a point prevalence study in the hospital, a table-top exercise on outbreak control in the hospital, a serious on outbreak control in the community a serious game, and several excursions (TB clinic, RIVM).  This course entails the following learning objectives:  1. Gain profound understanding of how genetic diversity and antigenic variation in infectious diseases is related to infectious disease pathogenesis, transmission and evolution.  2. Participate in a multidisciplinary antibiotic stewardship team by having active knowledge of the  working mechanisms of antimicrobials, knowledge on when to use which antibiotic, and how  micro-organisms can counter antimicrobials (antibiotic resistance).  3. Develop and present hospital infection control programs by understanding the concept of hospital infection prevention and control on a patient level, including the understanding of different indications for patient isolation, different types of isolation and the criteria for ending isolation.  4. Apply the theoretical basis of infectious disease surveillance, outbreak investigation, vaccine  epidemiology and infectious diseases and prevention & control into practice and science settings. Acquire modelling skills and to be able to use them for the prediction of the effect of interventions on an outbreak.  6. Integrate the knowledge gained during the course into a small field-study, involving literature search, statistical data collection, analyses, and reporting writing a scientific article and& performing a presentation.

815,55,Module Global Justice and Human Rights," Courses:  Global Distributive Justice : An Introduction:   This course will:  • introduce you to the debate on global distributive justice; • show why understanding our global order implies asking theoretical and practical questions of justice; • combine normative questions with empirical research; • and allow you to further develop essential skills related to argumentation, discussion, and public speaking.  In recent decades, national borders have become less important. In economic, political and cultural areas, transnational networks have emerged that take little or no account of the traditional territorial boundaries of nation states. This is a positive development for people who have the resources and capabilities to use these networks. However, a large part of the world population is cut off from these global networks and their benefits. Many people are well aware of structural injustice and better alternatives, but rarely have the opportunity to improve their situation. Against this background the question arises what ‘justice’ can mean in a world that increasingly becomes smaller. To what extent can we realize our ideals of freedom, equality, solidarity, and sustainability in a world in which individuals and communities are increasingly dependent on each other? Are there principles of global justice? And if so, who has the duty to comply with these principles, and which international structures do we need to guarantee them? These questions are dealt with on the basis of a problem-based approach that looks at current themes such as poverty and socio-economic inequality, international trade, social responsibility of multinationals, distribution of natural resources, and climate justice.  Test information Students are required to write an essay and to give a presentation. The final result will be composed out of the following elements: – Examination: 50% – Presentation: 30% – Essay: 20%.  Philosophy of International law This course provides a discussion of the foundations of and critical approaches to human rights. On successful completion of this course, you will be able to:  • explain different philosophical approaches to human rights;  • explain the strengths and weaknesses of the various foundations of and challenges to human rights; • relate philosophical debates on human rights to current issues in human rights law; • form an opinion on a current human rights issue, using philosophical approaches to human rights. Since the proclamation of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights in 1948 international law has recognized an increasing number of human rights. Political activists in the North and the South appeal to human rights and so do many states (even when their actions violate human rights law). Yet, despite becoming a global ‘moral lingua franca’, human rights remain controversial. Various social movements and thinkers call for the recognition of new human rights, such as rights of the peasants, LGBTI+-rights and collective rights. However, classic liberals, and states such as the US, have argued against what they see as the ‘erosion of human rights’ and want to limit human rights to a core of political and civil rights. More fundamentally, the legitimacy of human rights is hotly debated. Marxist, feminist and postcolonial critics argue that human rights do not represent universal values, but that these rights propagate an individualist and market-driven way of life. While some critics call for a transformation of human rights, others urge us to drop human rights altogether. These debates raise all sorts of urgent questions: Are human rights genuinely universal, and, if so, what is the most appropriate foundation of human rights? Is it desirable to make room within international law for new rights? Are human rights really a defense against oppression or do human rights serve the powerful and deepen injustice? And, if we are to move beyond the (current) human rights framework, what alternatives exist to address injustice? Tests: Take home essay   Global Labor Justice   At the end of this course, you are able to:  • Distinguish and describe several perspectives vis-à-vis the relationship between human rights and religion, reflect on them, and take an argued position of your own; • Differentiate between the different generations of human rights, and explain the tensions between particular human rights, especially when it comes to the acknowledgement of religious and other normative perspectives; • Explain and illustrate how human rights culture is induced or reduced by the convictions of normative communities and religious traditions; • Recognize and describe specific contributions to human rights discourse coming from religious or normative communities; • Apply concepts coming from the social sciences and religious studies to the study of human rights; • Explain the context of contemporary issues in which human rights discourse and religion seem to clash.    The judicial inscription of human rights in legislation and regulation (i.e. the legality of human rights), is important, but the extent to which people at large agree with these positivized human rights and support them (i.e. the legitimacy of human rights) is at least equally meaningful. Acceptance and support of human rights is not only defined by individual circumstances, but it is also determined by the values and norms of the particular group(s) individuals belong to. These groups can be both religious and secular/philosophical in nature. In this course, we explore the relationship between human rights discourse and such normative communities.  Is religion good for the development of a human rights culture, or does religion hinder the application of human rights? This is a question that has been and is still discussed in philosophical as well as religious circles. In the first part of the course, we will encounter several different perspectives on this question, taking both extremes as their starting point, and students will be challenged to argue for their own position.  In the second part of this course, we will discuss contemporary contexts from around the world in which human rights discourse and normative communities are interacting or at odds with each other. We will get to know and apply concepts from the social sciences and religious studies, such as globalization, identity politics and fundamentalism to understand these situations better. Studying these contexts raises the question of whether human rights are and should be universal or not.  Test information The examination is based on a written exam at the end of the term. A reflection paper on the student’s own position concerning the relationship between religion and human rights is also part of the examination.

816,55,Module Ecology and Sustainability," The Radboud Faculty of Philosophy, Theology and Religious Studies offers three modules for IISMA students. The modules comprise three courses in the Philosophy, Politics and Society bachelor programme. You can only take a course (5 ECTS) if you also take the two associated courses during the same semester. An entire module will be 15 ECTS. In order to secure a diverse population at max three Iisma students can be allowed for a module.  This module comprises three courses  – Ecophilosophy in the Anthropocene At the end of this course, you will have the ability to:  • identify the key debates, central issues and dominant philosophical positions with regard to the Anthropocene; • critically assess the philosophical robustness and soundness of these philosophcal positions, and to identify options for their improvement; • distinguish, assess and identify the basic eco-philosophical concepts and theories in the philosophical debates on the Anthropocene; • critically apply these eco-philosophical concepts and theories to concrete current ecological and geopolitical issues.  There is hardly any question about it: ‘the environment’ dominates all the social, economic, political and even individual agendas in our days – climate change and rising sea levels, biodiversity and species extinction, pollution, sustainability, energy transition: there is no escape. For philosophers, these issues raise the most profound question in at least three areas: metaphysics, ethics and political philosophy – the three areas represented in the ‘Ecology and Sustainability’ module.  This particular course, ‘Ecophilosophy in the Anthropocene’, focuses on the Anthropocene as a new way of understanding the global ecological crisis, i.e., as the geological epoch following the Holocene, in which the human (anthropos) has become the most important geological factor, from now on crucially determining the fate of the biosphere. In general, this course deals with the metaphysical, ontological and anthropological implications of the Anthropocene and what it means for rethinking the human condition. It also reflects on the widespread recognition of an ecological turn in philosophy and the humanities more generally. The course consists of two parts.  In the first part we will first take a look at the scientific debate on the Anthropocene and then reflect philosophically on some of the central issues, in particularly focusing on (socio)ecological complexity and on the discussions around biodiversity and extinction, including the possibility of human extinction. We will also introduce students to geophilosophy and demonstrate its usefulness for reflecting on the Anthropocene. Authors to be discussed in this part include Gilles Deleuze, Michel Serres, Andreas Malm and Timothy Morton.  In the second part we will first present an overview of the prevailing narratives on the Anthropocene and then reflect on what these imply for rethinking the Earth and the relation between humanity and the Earth in light of the necessity of re-earthing humanity so as to ensure the possibility of human habitation on the planet. It will then focus on the technological dimension of the Anthropocene through a discussion of the notion of the technosphere as the new decisive geosphere, both on what this means from an energetic perspective and from the question of human agency and responsibility. Finally it will reflect on the necessity of a new terrestrial ethos in relation to the question concerning technology. Authors to be discussed in this part include Clive Hamilton, Bruno Latour, Peter Sloterdijk and Bernard Stiegler.  Tests  Paper   -Political Ecology  After this course, you will have the ability to:  • identify the possible political and social implications of eco-philosophical positions on environmental ethics, environmental collective action, and the relevant moral subjects of environmental thought; • critically assess the philosophical robustness and soundness of these views, and to identify options for their improvement; • distinguish, assess and identify the influence of basic eco-philosophical concepts and theories in ‘green’ political and political–economic thought; • do the same with policy-informing scientific reports – and to identify and qualify any form of bias in such reports. There is hardly any question about it: ‘the environment’ dominates all the social, economic, political and even individual agendas in our days – climate change and rising sea levels, biodiversity and species extinction, pollution, sustainability, energy transition. There is no escape. For philosophers, these issues raise the most profound question in at least three areas: metaphysics, ethics and political philosophy – the three areas represented in the ‘Ecology and Sustainability’ module.  This particular course, ‘Political Ecology’, focuses on debates on sustainability and environmental policy, economics and politics. Sustainability refers to the way in which resources of the planet can be used in such a way that needs and demands of current generations can be met while also guaranteeing the needs and rights of future generations of humans. The sustainability debate focuses, in other words, on the way in which human societies impact the global ecosystem and aims to find new concepts and understandings of politics and economy that reflect an understanding of the dependence of human well-being on the global ecosystems. Concrete topics include: Ecology and economy: new economic models (circular and steady state economy, bio-based economy, degrowth, commons, permaculture, etc.); Environmental and intergenerational justice; ecologism versus liberalism versus republicanism; ecomodernism; Climate politics and the IPPC process.  – Critique of Green Ideology At the end of this course, you will have the ability to:    • identify key issues and debates within (critique of) green ideology • situate critique of green ideology to related fields, such as ecocriticism and ecofeminism • critically asses the concepts of ecology and sustainability, and identify options for their salvageability; • critically apply these eco-philosophical concepts and theories to concrete current ecological, social and (geo)political issues.  Content There is hardly an organization, business or government left that hasn’t put “sustainability” front and centre, our own university included. In the meantime, as the latest IPCC reports attest to, the climate crisis is deepening. What are we talking about when we talk about sustainability? And what do we aim to sustain? How to distinguish mute and/or strategic references to a sustainable world and greenwashing, from attempts to actually change things? In this course we explore the genealogy of the concept of sustainability, as well as that of ecology, and their functioning within “green ideology.”  In the first part of the course we trace the concept of ecology from its original conceptualization in the work of German zoologist and philosopher Ernst Haeckel, its development in the 20th century, both in science and the environmental movement from the 1950’s onwards, to the “explosion of ecologies” that is currently taking place, that some argue requires a general ecology and even concerns an “ecologization of thinking.”  In the second part of the course we engage with the concept of sustainability. Here we mainly focus on the transition of the concept from the 1970s onwards. We trace how it changed from a critical concept that challenged economic hegemony, reminding us of ecology and of the limits to growth, into “sustainable development” – more of a managerial concept than a critical (eco-)political one – to the “empty signifier” it seems to have become. Can the critical kernel of sustainability be salvaged?  In the third part we explore the functioning of these two concepts within green ideology, also addressing related ideals such as circular (bio-)economy, green growth and green capitalism, and notions such as resilience and regeneration. Do they really challenge the status quo or in fact strengthen it? In order to answer that question and find what a critique of green ideology requires and entails, we will discuss both (the possibility of) “critique” and (the functioning of) “ideology”. In order to do so properly, we will explore related fields of theory and critique, such as ecocriticism and eco-/environmental feminism as well.  Readings will include Val Plumwood, Timothy Morton, Yannis Stavrakakis, Bruno Latour and Slavoj Žižek.  Test information The assessment includes a presentation, a midterm proposal and a final paper on (one of) the topics discussed in this course.

environmental and intergenerational justice; ecologism versus liberalism versus republicanism; ecomodernism; climate politics and the ippc process.  – critique of green ideology at the end of this course, you will have the ability to:    • identify key issues and debates within (critique of) green ideology • situate critique of green ideology to related fields, such as ecocriticism and ecofeminism • critically asses the concepts of ecology and sustainability, and identify options for their salvageability; • critically apply these eco-philosophical concepts and theories to concrete current ecological, social and (geo)political issues.  content there is hardly an organization, business or government left that hasn’t put “sustainability” front and centre, our own university included. in the meantime, as the latest ipcc reports attest to, the climate crisis is deepening. what are we talking about when we talk about sustainability? and what do we aim to sustain? how to distinguish mute and/or strategic references to a sustainable world and greenwashing, from attempts to actually change things? in this course we explore the genealogy of the concept of sustainability, as well as that of ecology, and their functioning within “green ideology.”  in the first part of the course we trace the concept of ecology from its original conceptualization in the work of german zoologist and philosopher ernst haeckel, its development in the 20th century, both in science and the environmental movement from the 1950’s onwards, to the “explosion of ecologies” that is currently taking place, that some argue requires a general ecology and even concerns an “ecologization of thinking.”  in the second part of the course we engage with the concept of sustainability. here we mainly focus on the transition of the concept from the 1970s onwards. we trace how it changed from a critical concept that challenged economic hegemony, reminding us of ecology and of the limits to growth, into “sustainable development” – more of a managerial concept than a critical (eco-)political one – to the “empty signifier” it seems to have become. can the critical kernel of sustainability be salvaged?  in the third part we explore the functioning of these two concepts within green ideology, also addressing related ideals such as circular (bio-)economy, green growth and green capitalism, and notions such as resilience and regeneration. do they really challenge the status quo or in fact strengthen it? in order to answer that question and find what a critique of green ideology requires and entails, we will discuss both (the possibility of) “critique” and (the functioning of) “ideology”. in order to do so properly, we will explore related fields of theory and critique, such as ecocriticism and eco-/environmental feminism as well.  readings will include val plumwood, timothy morton, yannis stavrakakis, bruno latour and slavoj žižek.  test information the assessment includes a presentation, a midterm proposal and a final paper on (one of) the topics discussed in this course.","ecophilosophy anthropocene, course ecophilosophy anthropocene, courses ecophilosophy anthropocene, ecophilosophy anthropocene focuses, ecophilosophy anthropocene end, anthropocene critically apply, anthropocene discussion","ecophilosophy anthropocene, course ecophilosophy anthropocene, courses ecophilosophy anthropocene, anthropocene discussion, regard anthropocene, anthropocene critically, anthropocene","global ecological crisis, anthropocene, ecophilosophy, sustainability debate, philosopher ernst haeckel, relevant moral subjects, important geological factor"

818,55,History of Biology," Aims At the end of this course, you are able to:  1. Recognise basic connections and tensions between biology and society through historic examples, in order to better appreciate such tensions in the current practice of biology. 2. Recognise and appreciate the variety of styles and organisation of research in research in reference to basic examples from the history of biology. 3. Recognise and understand the importance of social processes (such as fame, selective attention) for the development of research, at a basic level. 4. Understand how different approaches to history and current concerns affect how history is presented, based examples from the history of biology, at basic level. 5. Refer to the basic canon in the history of biology, including key names and crucial stories that are essential to the identity of a biologist (such as Darwin or Mendel).  The history of biology is rich and full of remarkable stories, which are often surprisingly relevant for the present. For example, some theoretical puzzles and tensions in taxonomy that date back to the 18th century remain unresolved today. Similarly, there are exciting analyses of the problematic assumptions at the historic roots of evolutionary theory. History also offers us important warnings, such as for what can go wrong once totalitarian regimes determine what is good science and what is not. With the right perspective and the right kind of questions, the history of biology can offer instructive insights for fundamental theoretical problems, for the sometimes difficult relations between biology and society, and even offer a glimpse of half-forgotten knowledge. History also offers reflection on what is probably the toughest question of the discipline: what actually is biology? It may sound like a dreadful cliché, but the aim of this course is to learn from the past. The course will not present you with an endless stream of historic facts or isolated funny anecdotes (although some of the history of biology can be quite entertaining). The stress will be on the interpretation of history: we will try to understand patterns and relations in the development of biology, rather than list who discovered what, where, and when. To this end, the course is constructed around three main points: biology is diverse, biology is always connected to society, and biology has made mistakes from which we can learn a lot. For these purposes, the course will focus on the history of biology since the 18th century, where the most concrete connections with the current practice of biology can be made. With respect to diversity, the course will offer an overview of styles in doing biology, which will show that, historically, there were many different ways of doing biology. For example, whereas current biology is often dominated by laboratories and molecular biology, biology also has a rich heritage of a taxonomical style of research. In this style, the most important centres of biological research were museums of natural history, botanic gardens, and other collections of specimen that were carefully collected, often on long and adventurous expeditions to exotic places. We will see how the laboratory gained a foothold in biology towards the end of the 19th century and then gradually expanded its reign through the rise of genetics and later molecular biology. We will not only look at the development of biological ideas and research practices, but pay special attention to the development of the relation between biology and society. We will find out where biologists got their research funds in the past, how biological thinking incorporated ideas from wider culture, but also how biology had a profound societal impact itself. We will follow biologists around as they tried to improve agriculture, fought infectious diseases, or became activists calling for nature conservation and environmental protection. If we want to learn from history, then we should not only focus on the success stories and show cases, such as the discovery of the structure of DNA, or revered heroes such as Charles Darwin. We should also have the courage to see the dark side of biology’s history, such as the flirtations with eugenics or racism. For it is only when we have the courage to look in the dark corners that we may find the means to confront such monsters, should they once again rear their ugly heads. While the course does not require you to learn a lot of dates and names by heart, there is a basic list of names and stories any biologist should know, as part as your professional identity and frame of reference: the canon of biology. After all, how can you be a biologist and not know about Darwin, Mendel, or Watson&Crick. While any canon is somewhat aribitrary, this course too contains a list of essential names and stories in their historic setting.  Test  Assessment for the course consists of a computer exam (80% of the grade) with multiple choice and short open questions. The remaining 20% of the grade is based on answering at least five questions about the course material on joint bulletin boards. Strictly speaking, this is optional, but you need at least a 5 for the exam and a 5,5 overall grade to succeed.

819,55,Biology and Society," Aims – The different roles of biologists in society – The challenges and dilemmas that biologists face in these different roles – The basic principles of communication between dissenters  Content The Biology and Society course focuses on the role of the biologist in society. Biologists are employed in a variety of roles in a variety of places. Think, for example, of biologists who work as policy makers for the government, as advisers for environmental organizations, as journalists, as teachers at schools or as researchers at knowledge institutions.  For example, if farmers and conservationists cannot agree on how to deal with wild geese, biologists are asked to find out how many geese there are and what options exist for population management. And if an epidemic such as the Covid-19 pandemic breaks out, we ask doctors and medical biologists whether the vaccines are effective and whether it is wise to buy a large stock in the Netherlands, or when we can expect one in the future.  As with all scientists, biologists do not operate in a vacuum. As a biologist you always work simultaneously in a scientific and a social environment. The Biology and Society course helps you to get to know the social environment and understand how it may work. This is done by looking at the relationship between biology and society in two ways, on the one hand from the perspective of ‘biology in society’ and on the other from the perspective of ‘society in biology.  In the first perspective you should think of the numerous issues in society in which biology (and thus biological expertise) plays a role in one or the other way, such as the aforementioned issues with the wild geese and the threat of an epidemic, but also issues like ADHD, genetic screening, the increase in obesity, the use of laboratory animals in the lab, the so-called bio-based economy, global warming, the loss of biodiversity or the return of the wolf to the Netherlands. In many societal issues biologists are involved in many ways.  The second perspective concerns the way in which society is present in and influences biological research practices and research agendas. For example, the government exerts influence on what is being researched by whom at a given time, for example in the form of the Netherlands Institute for Scientific Research (NWO), which funds a large part of scientific research in the Netherlands. But also to ethical committees, patient organizations, nature and environmental associations, concerned groups of citizens and/or individuals in society and, not to forget: the media have an impact on biological research. As a biologist, you have to deal with such societal actors to accomplish your goals.  In this course we discuss different roles that you may adopt as a biologist in society and what you may encounter within this role in terms of societal issues.   Test information Students are required to write a short essay (1500 – 2000 words) on a topical case of their choice, in which biologists play different societal roles. The aim of this essay is to examine the different ways in which biologists are involved in this topic, and to briefly discuss the specific possibilities and limitations of each role of biologists. For one of these roles, the student will more specifically identify which themes and related questions are at stake.

820,55,Course Globalising Worlds / Human Geography," This course focuses especially on global issues affecting the so-called Global South. This relates to issues such as climate change, trade, city planning, human mobility and transnational cooperation.  In this course we seek to offer alternative approaches to interactions conceived as processes of globalisation by explicitly linking them to specific areas in the world, helping to thereby provide an integral analysis of place-space interconnectivities in globalisation processes.  In this course we thereby also reveal how the spatial sciences have a key role to play in helping to literally and conceptually locate globalisation, to not only understand ‘why’ and ‘how’ but ‘why there’ it is grounded. The course will focus on societal changes arising out of local impacts of globalization. This, for instance, relates to particular forms of urban development (exploding cities, uneven cities, networked cities). Themes such as mobility, are explored in greater depth, with specific attention given to situations in the Global South.  Key themes discussed in this course are: • On the move: globalization, capital mobility and human migration • Sustainability issues for a globalized world? Access to natural resources, globality of sustainable / wasteful societies • A global urban world: ‘planetary urbanism’, planning of growing mega-cities, the duality of formal/informal urban economies.

In particular, after briefly discussing the historial construction of the European Union and the idea of Europe, we will study the continuous importance and impact of the social construction of internal national borders and the influence of populist nationalism in the European Union. And we will look at the financial, refugee and corona crisis which has led to new nationalism on the one hand and new federalism on the other. Then, we will analyse the ongoing cross-border collaboration between border regions at the internal borders of the European Union.

822,55,Course Space and Environment in the European Union / Environment and Society Studies," The European Union (EU) exerts a strong influence on its member states. It constitutes a new politico-administrative layer above national states, affecting national policies, politics and polities in a wide range of areas, including environment and planning. At the same time, national governments retain a crucial role in European integration. National civil servants and politicians are deeply embedded in the development and adoption of EU policies, as well as in their implementation ‘back home’.  Many people see the EU as highly complicated or even mind-boggling. ‘Brussels’ defies easy categorization in terms of its structure, governance process and operational logic. On top of this, it is under constant (re)construction. To further complicate things, the EU is facing a number of existential crises and challenges: BREXIT, the financial crisis and migration to name a few.  The EU is regularly criticized by national media and politicians, and distrusted by the people – either for being ineffective and weak, or for being too dominant and imposing on the member states. These criticisms also relate to spatially relevant and environmental policies. In sum, the EU is important, complex, and heavily contested. For these reasons, it is imperative for students of planning and environmental policy to develop a deep understanding of processes of European integration and governance in those particular areas as well as more generally.  The course ‘Space and environment in the EU’ (SEEU) will be given in close cooperation with the course ‘European Governance’ offered by the Department of Public Administration. The course is divided into four themes: (1) introduction and background, (2) government and administration, (3) the policy process, (4) implementation and Europeanisation.  Knowledge and insights specific to the fields of spatially relevant and environmental policies will be further developed in a number of lectures and working groups.  Aims After finishing the course Space & Environment in the European Union the student is able to:  • Understand and explain the processes of EU policy-making and decision-making as well as the effects of spatially-relevant and environmental policies in the EU member states and regions;  • Understand and explain, from a theoretical perspective, the processes and outcomes of a Europeanisation of spatial and environmental policy arrangements and planning systems;  • Reflect on the governance arrangements, policy objectives and spatial and environmental impacts of EU policies, and to discuss the different channels of influence through which these policies achieve their objectives;  • Apply the most important concepts, developments and policies of the EU in the field of environment and planning to specific issues of spatial and/or environmental relevance.

Societies have become increasingly multicultural. Intercultural communication is a part of life for most people, in both everyday and work contexts. For business professionals who work in an international setting, or for students studying abroad, it is important to have insight into the ways in which culture can play a role in intercultural contact situations, in terms of behaviour in general and interpersonal communication in particular. This course considers the concept of culture, and how culture influences our thinking, acting and being. It examines the influence of culture on verbal and non-verbal communication, the relationship between culture, identity and communication, and how cultural value orientations influence our worldview and the way we behave towards others. The course also considers topics such as acculturation in immigrants and expats, culture shock, and the development of intercultural (communication) competence.  At the end of the course, students will: • Be able to identify and describe fundamental theoretical concepts and principles that are relevant to understanding communication between people from different cultural and social backgrounds; • Have insight into the concept of culture, cultural differences and how culture can influence verbal and non-verbal behaviour;  • Have insight into contributors to – and issues in – intercultural communication today, and be able to reflect critically on these; • Have insight into acculturation/cultural adaptation, culture shock, and the development of intercultural (communication) competence, and be able to identify and critically reflect on factors that play a role in these processes English level B2 is necessary, Ba 1 course ","intercultural communication/communication and information studies. this course offers students an introduction to intercultural communication and the factors that shape and influence it. due to globalization, migration and international work mobility, intercultural contact between people from different cultures -and different language backgrounds- has become more common in recent decades. societies have become increasingly multicultural. intercultural communication is a part of life for most people, in both everyday and work contexts. for business professionals who work in an international setting, or for students studying abroad, it is important to have insight into the ways in which culture can play a role in intercultural contact situations, in terms of behaviour in general and interpersonal communication in particular. this course considers the concept of culture, and how culture influences our thinking, acting and being. it examines the influence of culture on verbal and non-verbal communication, the relationship between culture, identity and communication, and how cultural value orientations influence our worldview and the way we behave towards others. the course also considers topics such as acculturation in immigrants and expats, culture shock, and the development of intercultural (communication) competence.  at the end of the course, students will: • be able to identify and describe fundamental theoretical concepts and principles that are relevant to understanding communication between people from different cultural and social backgrounds; • have insight into the concept of culture, cultural differences and how culture can influence verbal and non-verbal behaviour;  • have insight into contributors to – and issues in – intercultural communication today, and be able to reflect critically on these; • have insight into acculturation/cultural adaptation, culture shock, and the development of intercultural (communication) competence, and be able to identify and critically reflect on factors that play a role in these processes english level b2 is necessary, ba 1 course","introduction intercultural communication, issues intercultural communication, intercultural communication today, intercultural communication communication, intercultural communication, intercultural communication life, intercultural communication competence","introduction intercultural communication, issues intercultural communication, intercultural communication, intercultural, communication, culture, acculturation","intercultural communication today, acculturation, cultural value orientations, english level b2, social backgrounds, information studies, international work mobility"

825,55,Psychology and Media Content," In this module, students will get  a general introduction in psychology,  an introductory course in research methods and  a course on media content.  The course will start outlining what Psychology is about: which questions does it want to answer and how does it do so? During the course we will cover multiple subdisciplines such as biological, social, developmental and clinical psychology.  Topics that will be discussed include memory, consciousness, perception, emotion, personality and psychological disorders and their treatment. In addition, you will become acquainted with various research methods used in the field of psychology.  Additionally, you will gain insight into the advantages and disadvantages of various research methods used to answer research questions in the social sciences.  Next to teaching you about psychology, the course also encourages you to reflect on your future professional career.  Besides the above-mentioned curriculum there will be weekly exercises to guide this reflection process. You will learn not only to question your own assumptions but also help others questions theirs by providing constructive feedback and discussion.  If we want to improve our knowledge, we consult media. Whether we refer to social media, documentaries, or newspapers, all of these media carry meanings about the world. Even if we turn to media for entertainment they will provide us with images of the world around us. Media content is built on representations.  As is science. Science, more specific scientific papers, offer access to (a specific part of) reality by creating representations of reality based on scientific methods and rules. The scope of this part of the module concerns media content. How do we know the world? What are the most important systems of representations that shape media content (images, language, narrative, rhetoric)? In communication science content analysis is a distinctive method. However, different theories create different perspectives on ‘content’ and therefore will read content differently.  At the end of the module you will have an overview over the discipline of psychology and research methods in the social sciences. In addition, you are invited to act as a participant in research projects of other students to increase your understanding of the participants point of view and to be introduced to a wide variety of labs and research approaches.  At the end of this module:  • You’ll be able to distinguish different perspectives on media content.  • You’ll be able to describe the relationship between ‘reality’ and its symbolic ‘representation’.  • You’ll be able to identify and apply different signs and sign systems that shape media reality, in the analysis of media content.  This minor entails the following learning objectives:  • You’ll have an understanding of the field of psychology and its subdisciplines.  • You’ll have insight into how different factors can influence human thinking, feeling and behavior.  • You’ll understand how the empirical cycle is used to answer questions about human behaviour.  • You’ll able to identify advantages and disadvantages of various research methods used to answer psychological research questions.  • You’ll be able to assess the relevance of research articles (scientific and popular-scientific) and formulate critical questions about them.  • You’ll develop personal skills for giving and receiving feedback in a professional and constructive manner, both verbally and written.  • You’ll be able to critically reflect on your development as an academic professional and you can communicate your perspective verbally and written.  • You’ll be able to distinguish different perspectives on media content.  • You’ll be able to describe the relationship between ‘reality’ and its symbolic ‘representation’.  • You’ll be able to identify and apply different signs and sign systems that shape media reality, in the analysis of media content.  Assessment for this module consists of several elements:  1. Weekly multiple-choice tests  2. Written examination consisting of open-ended questions about research and methods.  3.

826,55,Module Religious Contacts and Conflicts," The Radboud Faculty of Philosophy, Theology and Religious Studies offers three modules for IISMA students. The modules comprise three courses in the Philosophy, Politics and Society bachelor programme. You can only take a course (5 ECTS) if you also take the two associated courses during the same semester. An entire module will be 15 ECTS. In order to secure a diverse population at max three Iisma students can be allowed for a module.  Three courses: The Silk Road: Religious Cultures, Conflicts and Contacts from Europe to China  You will both deepen and broaden your knowledge of the religions and cultures that have developed along the ‘Silk Road’. You’ll develop insight into the most signficant interactions between Asia and the West. The Silk Road, which ran between Europe and China, was not just a trade route, but also a conduit for the distribution of ideas and religions from East to West and vice versa. By focusing on the ancient Silk Road, this course highlights the important role this area played in the formation and spread of religious cultures. The course introduces the world’s major religions, it familiarizes students with the basic tenets of each tradition, and looks at a number of specific instances of interaction between religions and cultures in this region.  Test: Written Exam  State and Diversity: Politics and the Role of Religion in North-Africa and the Middle-East  After completing this course, you will be to understand:  • political developments in the Middle east and North Africa in the modern and contemporary periods; • economic evolutions in the Middle East and North Africa after the colonial era; • role of religious movements and activism in the Middle East-North Africa region; • difficulties and opportunities to generate rule of law, modern citizenship, and democratic systems in the MENA region; • local, national and regional political and mobilizations in the MENA region; • cultural, demographic, and anthropological changes in the MENA region in the last several decades. State and Diversity is a crash course in Middle Eastern politics and the special role Islam plays in the political process. In twelve classes it deals with the most important topics and debates among political scientists working on the region. Topics to be analyzed include the social structure of societies in the region, the role of the authoritarian states, the “oil curse” and the rentier state, the way political parties function, the limitations of civil society, the position of women, and the permeability of the region and the interference of foreign powers. Special attention will be given to the role Islamic movements play in the region and the so-called “sectarianization” of political conflicts. The central question is why the Arab Spring (2010-2011) happened and why the dominant political theories failed to predict these uprisings. In addition, we will discuss possible future developments in the region. Test information The examination is based on the writing of essays  Dying for God: Martyrdom, Terrorism and Religious Violence In addition to becoming familiar with narratives of violence and suffering related to the three religious traditions (Judaism, Christianity, Islam), a significant goal of the course is to understand how the concept of “religious violence” functions in a broader discourse of religion, politics, and society. By the end of the course, therefore, you will be able to:  • identify and describe a wide range of primary texts produced by Jews, Christians, and Muslims from antiquity through today that comprise stories of martyrdom and violence; • discuss in a critical manner why the terms “martyrdom”, “terrorism”, and “religious violence” are more than simple, descriptive labels; • understand how the concept of “religious violence” functions in a broader discourse of religion, politics, and society; • summarize how different religious traditions, political groups, and modern audiences have employed stories about dying/killing for God in their respective historical contexts; • evaluate and explain the various uses of these texts in contemporary discourse, especially political, social, and ethical discussions; • clearly and effectively respond to the course materials, both orally in the context of class discussion, and in written form. What makes a martyr? What makes a terrorist? How and why would an individual be willing to die and/or kill for God? These are some of the questions this course explores as we consider how martyrdom, terrorism, and violence (more broadly defined) are significant concepts in the discourse of religious identity, from antiquity until today. During the course students will read and discuss several ancient, medieval, and modern narratives of violence and self-sacrifice in Jewish, Christian, and Islamic contexts. In analyzing these texts we will not only consider what function their tellings (and retellings) may have for their respective religious communities, but we will also question why such accounts of violence are considered so striking. Why are certain actors defined as “martyr” and others as “terrorist”, who is doing the labeling, and for what purpose. What are the ideological or political motivations for such designations, and what kinds of conflicts arise when communities compete over them? Thus, a major goal of this course is to uncover and describe why religious communities, political groups, and/or scholars of religion are invested in making such identifications. This course will consider the intersection of religion and violence in stories about dying and killing for God, and the impact of these images on political and social discourse in both historical and contemporary contexts. Test information Active participation in seminar discussions; interim assignments; and a final paper ","module religious contacts and conflicts. the radboud faculty of philosophy, theology and religious studies offers three modules for iisma students. the modules comprise three courses in the philosophy, politics and society bachelor programme. you can only take a course (5 ects) if you also take the two associated courses during the same semester. an entire module will be 15 ects. in order to secure a diverse population at max three iisma students can be allowed for a module.  three courses: the silk road: religious cultures, conflicts and contacts from europe to china  you will both deepen and broaden your knowledge of the religions and cultures that have developed along the ‘silk road’. you’ll develop insight into the most signficant interactions between asia and the west. the silk road, which ran between europe and china, was not just a trade route, but also a conduit for the distribution of ideas and religions from east to west and vice versa. by focusing on the ancient silk road, this course highlights the important role this area played in the formation and spread of religious cultures. the course introduces the world’s major religions, it familiarizes students with the basic tenets of each tradition, and looks at a number of specific instances of interaction between religions and cultures in this region.  test: written exam  state and diversity: politics and the role of religion in north-africa and the middle-east  after completing this course, you will be to understand:  • political developments in the middle east and north africa in the modern and contemporary periods; • economic evolutions in the middle east and north africa after the colonial era; • role of religious movements and activism in the middle east-north africa region; • difficulties and opportunities to generate rule of law, modern citizenship, and democratic systems in the mena region; • local, national and regional political and mobilizations in the mena region; • cultural, demographic, and anthropological changes in the mena region in the last several decades. state and diversity is a crash course in middle eastern politics and the special role islam plays in the political process. in twelve classes it deals with the most important topics and debates among political scientists working on the region. topics to be analyzed include the social structure of societies in the region, the role of the authoritarian states, the “oil curse” and the rentier state, the way political parties function, the limitations of civil society, the position of women, and the permeability of the region and the interference of foreign powers. special attention will be given to the role islamic movements play in the region and the so-called “sectarianization” of political conflicts. the central question is why the arab spring (2010-2011) happened and why the dominant political theories failed to predict these uprisings. in addition, we will discuss possible future developments in the region. test information the examination is based on the writing of essays  dying for god: martyrdom, terrorism and religious violence in addition to becoming familiar with narratives of violence and suffering related to the three religious traditions (judaism, christianity, islam), a significant goal of the course is to understand how the concept of “religious violence” functions in a broader discourse of religion, politics, and society. by the end of the course, therefore, you will be able to:  • identify and describe a wide range of primary texts produced by jews, christians, and muslims from antiquity through today that comprise stories of martyrdom and violence; • discuss in a critical manner why the terms “martyrdom”, “terrorism”, and “religious violence” are more than simple, descriptive labels; • understand how the concept of “religious violence” functions in a broader discourse of religion, politics, and society; • summarize how different religious traditions, political groups, and modern audiences have employed stories about dying/killing for god in their respective historical contexts; • evaluate and explain the various uses of these texts in contemporary discourse, especially political, social, and ethical discussions; • clearly and effectively respond to the course materials, both orally in the context of class discussion, and in written form. what makes a martyr?

827,56,"Social Change, Culture and Development","  This module starts from the observation that development is more than economic change and involves important social and cultural aspects. It begins with an interrogation of the way development practices and ideas are embedded in cultural contexts, and specifically how the development industry is historically and culturally entangled in Western conceptions of progress, rationality, and the individual. Against a view of culture as ‘tradition’ and an impediment to development we will examine different cultural conceptions of progress. This involves both alternate visions of future development as well as the negative impacts that development policies and interventions have on local people, communities and cultures. Questions of power and cultural relativism inevitably arise: what happens when different interests and commitments collide, and who or what determines the module development interventions take?

831,56,Human Factors & Ergonomics,"  This module provides a foundation of principles for human-centred design that will be relevant throughout your degree programme. Initially there is a focus on physical considerations, including a study of human limits for inclusive design. Later on people’s behaviour is considered and how design can help to address significant issues for society. We also consider contemporary adaptations that embrace social factors, including consumer behaviour and a services approach to design. Finally we adopt a global perspective and understand more about society in developing countries and how design can help to address concerns.  Topics will include: introduction to human factors, ergonomics, anthropometrics, the senses, mock ups to evaluate ergonomic principles, designing a handheld object (anthropometrics, anatomy and physiology of the hand), consumer behaviour, inclusive design, design for a sustainable society, cradle to cradle approaches, taking a systems approach to design, research methods for understanding lifestyle and context of use, global issues and design concerns.

832,56,Critical Approaches 1,"  How do we go about reading and interpreting a literary text? What are we trying to do when we analyse a work of literature? Are we trying to establish one correct interpretation? How do we decide that some interpretations are more valuable than others? Do we need to understand the original intentions of the author to understand what something means? Is it necessary to understand the historical or political situation from which a work emerged? Do readers interpret texts differently at different historical moments? Could our interpretations of texts be affected by forces beyond our control, forces such as the workings of language, unconscious desires, class, race, gender, sexuality or nationality? How is it that some texts, Shakespeare’s plays, for instance, are highly valued by our culture, while others have been lost or devalued? Who or what decides which literature will survive to be read and studied on English courses? Critical Approaches 1 will suggest some ways of answering these large and difficult questions about interpretation, and aims to help you think in new ways about the work you do for your English degree at Sussex. In the autumn you will study the themes: “What is literature? Why does it matter?”, “Theories of Language and Meaning: Structuralism and Poststructuralism” and “Ideology and Discourse.” Throughout the module you will read critical and theoretical essays and literary works that contribute to your understanding of these themes. The module will examine many different aspects of literary theory including new criticism, Marxism, structuralism, post-structuralism, deconstruction, feminism, post-colonial theory, psychoanalysis and queer theory.  ","critical approaches 1. how do we go about reading and interpreting a literary text? what are we trying to do when we analyse a work of literature? are we trying to establish one correct interpretation? how do we decide that some interpretations are more valuable than others? do we need to understand the original intentions of the author to understand what something means? is it necessary to understand the historical or political situation from which a work emerged? do readers interpret texts differently at different historical moments? could our interpretations of texts be affected by forces beyond our control, forces such as the workings of language, unconscious desires, class, race, gender, sexuality or nationality? how is it that some texts, shakespeare’s plays, for instance, are highly valued by our culture, while others have been lost or devalued? who or what decides which literature will survive to be read and studied on english courses? critical approaches 1 will suggest some ways of answering these large and difficult questions about interpretation, and aims to help you think in new ways about the work you do for your english degree at sussex. in the autumn you will study the themes: “what is literature? why does it matter?”, “theories of language and meaning: structuralism and poststructuralism” and “ideology and discourse.” throughout the module you will read critical and theoretical essays and literary works that contribute to your understanding of these themes. the module will examine many different aspects of literary theory including new criticism, marxism, structuralism, post-structuralism, deconstruction, feminism, post-colonial theory, psychoanalysis and queer theory.","interpreting literary, reading interpreting literary, interpreting literary text, theoretical essays literary, literary theory, critical approaches reading, literary theory including","literary, literature, shakespeare, interpreting, interpretations, essays, discourse","literary theory, shakespeare, critical approaches, correct interpretation, english courses, different historical moments, unconscious desires"
833,56,Global Issues,"  The module aims to offer an introduction to a range of contemporary issues in global politics. Each week deals with a different global issue (e.g. development, poverty, economic sanctions, terrorism, emerging powers, migration, environment etc). The exact themes vary each year to cover the latest developments and crises in global politics. Most sessions start with an introduction to the theme by the module convenor and are followed by class activities (group discussion, presentations, debates, simulation games etc). The introduction by the convenor does not replicate the ‘required readings’, but expands or offers a different view to these readings and the issues under discussion. Similarly, student presentations do not focus on required readings but aim to cover contemporary ‘case-studies’ related to the themes under discussion.

938,63,"Castles, Colonists and Crannogs 1100-1350"," This course critically examines the archaeology of Ireland during the high medieval period from c.1100 until the mid-14th century. The background to the coming of the Anglo-Normans to Ireland in 1169 and the impact they had on the landscape are discussed in depth in the first part of the course. Themes for this section of the course will include the role of castles, the manorial economy, trade, the foundation of villages, rural boroughs and towns by mostly English immigrants and the growth of certain cities. Dispersed settlement in Anglo-Norman parts of eastern Ireland will also be explored. In particular, in the first part of the course, the interplay between castle, town and countryside in Anglo-Norman Ireland is examined in detail. It must also be remembered that large parts of Ireland remained in some way under the control of Irish (Gaelic Irish) princes and lords. The Norman conquest in Ireland in the years after 1169 was only partial, unlike England in 1066 which saw the complete takeover of that country by William the Conqueror. Lectures in this section of the course will examine the nature of Irish settlement in the period under review and will argue that while there was much change, continuity from the pre-Norman early medieval period was seen too. Themes in this part of the course will include the late use of crannogs, ringforts, the Irish adoption of moated sites as princely residences and native agricultural practices. The course will also deal with the changes of the 14th century and the virtual collapse of the Anglo-Norman colony across large parts of Ireland at this time. The last lecture will be a summary of the course outlining the main points made. In particular, it will compare and contrast the landscapes of Gaelic and Anglo-Norman Ireland. Questions such as the recognition of ethnicity and cultural interface in the archaeological record will be addressed in this last lecture.

939,63,Prehistoric Ireland & Europe," This module is an introduction to the prehistoric communities who inhabited Ireland and Europe, from about 20,000 BC to AD 400. Archaeologists divide this long period of time into the Paleolithic (Old Stone Age), Mesolithic (Middle Stone Age), Neolithic (New Stone Age), Bronze Age and Iron Age. We begin with the earliest modern human inhabitants of Europe, their hunter-gatherer way of life, their art and their relationship to the Neanderthal communities who preceded them. We look at evidence for the first hunter-gatherers who settled in Ireland and later the settlements and rituals of the first communities to develop agriculture and build megalithic tombs. We move on to examine changes in how these communities organised themselves and their rituals over thousands of years, including their adoption of bronze and iron metalworking. The course ends with a look at the history of the study of prehistory and the significance of prehistoric sites in contemporary society.

1071,71,Managing in a VUCA Context," The dynamic and fast changing nature of our world today is best described by VUCA, a term coined by the US Army War College. VUCA stands for Volatile, Uncertain, Complex and Ambiguous. The Arab Spring saw a change of government in countries like Tunisia, Egypt, Libya and Yemen. Once powerful countries in Europe are now fighting bankruptcy. The growth of the developing world which was taken for granted has begun to slow down. Even companies that were synonymous with their product categories just a few years ago are now no longer in existence. Kodak, the inventor of the digital camera had to wind up its operations, Borders, once the second largest US bookstore, has shut down due to their inability to evolve their business models with the changing times.  With such momentous changes happening in the world today, this course prepares the students to better understand the complexity and difficulties in reacting to the ambiguity inherent in those changes. This course helps students to understand the tensions in a given situation and how they need to think through a problem from multiple dimensions.  The course aims to give students an insight into the megatrends and forces that are impacting their world. We ask what are some of the causes of these trends and their business implications? What can future managers like themselves do about understanding these changing trends, and why they need to address, appreciate, adapt and attempt to manage these changes in their ecosystem? The course aims to introduce some basic VUCA concepts, in order to broaden their world view of management and nature of managing complex problems. The first half of the course introduces some of these trends, while the second half provides tools and possible frameworks to deal with the VUCA aspects that they will face in the future.

1139,76,"MICROECONOMICS: INFORMATION, DESIGN AND INSTITUTIONS"," This course studies the design of institutions that optimally cope with fundamental, longstanding economic questions (allocation of private goods, public good provision, externalities). We start from a simple, institution-free description of each question, try to understand the basic tensions at work, and derive institutions that optimally address these tensions. In the process, we introduce the important ideas of social choice, game theory, and market design. We will shed light on the theoretical concepts using empirical applications and in class games. The course is divided into four parts: 1. Social Choice, Efficiency and Welfare: We discuss normative criteria to evaluate collective choices made by a society comprised of individuals with possibly conflicting preferences (e.g. unanimity, not ruling out any preferences, not being dictatorial), and show that it is impossible to create institutions leading to choices that always satisfy even a minimal list of criteria. Next we introduce the possibility of pecuniary transfers to compensate individuals for social choices that harm them. We show that, when they are acceptable, Pareto efficiency and utilitarianism are equivalent, and a natural notion of social welfare emerges that ranks possible social choices. 2. Game Theory and Incentives: With this natural notion of optimal social choices, the question becomes a positive one: how can such choices be implemented. The difficulty is that the social value of different choices can only be assessed from the preferences of individuals. But each individual is the only one to know her true preferences, and must therefore be incentivized to provide this information. Institutions can be understood as rules of a game in which individuals strategically report their preferences. Game theory is the science of such strategic interactions, and we will introduce its basic ideas and some applications (e.g. competition between firms, tax fraud, bitcoin, pollution abatement). 3. Institutions as Mechanisms: At this stage, we are equipped to look for institutions that lead to efficient social choices in spite of asymmetric information about preferences. We will do so for three types of important economic problems: the allocation of private goods, the provision of public goods, and the organization of trade. We show that well designed auctions can solve the allocation problem. Using this as a starting point, we derive a general class of mechanisms that solve the incentive problem and lead to efficient social choices. They do so by using transfers that lead individuals to internalize the externality they exercise on others, and therefore align their incentives with social welfare. Such mechanisms however lead to budget deficits when applied to public good provision or trade. In fact, we show that efficiency cannot be achieved for these problems and we derive second-best solutions, that is, institutions that are optimal given the need to incentivize individuals. As the number of agents increases, we show that the inefficiency disappears, and that these second-best solutions come to resemble the ideal situation of perfectly competitive markets, thus providing support for the idea of market efficiency. For the public good problem, however, scaling if of no use. 4. Limits to Efficiency: In the last part of the course, we examine other possible sources of economic inefficiency. We start by looking at monopolies and their pricing strategies. We explain first, second and third-degree price discrimination. We explain how second degree-price discrimination can be understood as a mechanism designed to maximize profit rather than welfare. We also show how online information about consumers affects third-degree price discrimination, and use this to discuss the regulation of online data. Then we show how asymmetric information can destroy efficient trade even in competitive markets when they are subject to adverse selection and apply this idea to financial markets, job markets and insurance markets. Finally, we go back to auctions and the private good allocation problem, and show that a revenue-maximizing seller will optimally design auctions that distort efficiency.

1144,76,GOVERNING BORDERS IN THE 21ST CENTURY," This course offers an introduction to the study of migration, borders and security in the 21st Century. We will explore how the governance of migration and borders has been transformed to include a diverse range of actors away from the exclusive domain of the state. Increasingly, EU agencies, IGOs, NGOs, security professionals and religious organisations have become key players in governing mobilities. Key rationalities underpinning this governance will be explored, from managerial, to security, and humanitarian. Emerging practices for migration control often defy a territorial logic to borders, instead taking place in so-called transit and sending countries or in virtual spaces through surveillance and technology mechanisms. Thus, far from disappearing, as some scholars of globalization maintain, borders are emerging in new spaces both inside and outside the territorial state. This leads us to question the location of borders, their constitution, and their effects on liberties and fundamental rights. The course will provide students with the knowledge and concepts to think critically about how power works through borders and with what effects on states, populations and individuals in terms of their inclusion/exclusion, freedom, and mobility.

1147,76,COMPARATIVE POLITICS," What is Comparative Politics? How do we analyse politics comparatively? How can we make sense of the variation in the ways that political institutions and political authority are organised in contemporary societies? What are the effects of these multiple and different ways of organising politics? How do the main actors, institutions and processes that structure politics change across social and cultural settings? Finally, how does a comparative approach help us understand the contemporary world of politics? This course builds on the key concepts, theories and approaches introduced in the first-year course Introduction to Political Science by providing a more in-depth examination of the key elements that structure contemporary politics. It will focus, primarily, on established (mainly western) democracies but will systematically introduce comparative elements with political systems in all regions of the world (Africa, Asia, Latin America and the Middle East) to provide students with a wider and global perspective of politics and of political analysis. The course will allow students to acquire the analytical tools to understand and examine politics comparatively and to reflect about it in a sophisticated manner. It will do so by providing students with an overview of the epistemological and methodological issues that are central to the definition of Comparative Politics, as well as of the various approaches that shape our understanding of this field of study within Political Science. The course will stimulate the development of a sophisticated understanding of politics by focusing on several key overaching themes in the study of Comparative Politics, as well as on a comprehensive overview of contemporary comparative analyses of political institutions, actors and processes. The 48 hours of lectures and seminars that form this core course in the Major in Politics and Government have been designed to offer students a coherent approach in their learning by combining and complementing the lecture materials with the readings and practical cases that will be discussed in the seminar sessions. Both components (lectures and seminars) are an integral part of the course, and experience indicates that only students that attend both the lectures and the seminars are likely to achieve good grades in the course. This entails actively engaging with the lectures and seminars, as well as carefully preparing the readings assigned for both the lectures and the seminars. ","comparative politics. what is comparative politics? how do we analyse politics comparatively? how can we make sense of the variation in the ways that political institutions and political authority are organised in contemporary societies? what are the effects of these multiple and different ways of organising politics? how do the main actors, institutions and processes that structure politics change across social and cultural settings? finally, how does a comparative approach help us understand the contemporary world of politics? this course builds on the key concepts, theories and approaches introduced in the first-year course introduction to political science by providing a more in-depth examination of the key elements that structure contemporary politics. it will focus, primarily, on established (mainly western) democracies but will systematically introduce comparative elements with political systems in all regions of the world (africa, asia, latin america and the middle east) to provide students with a wider and global perspective of politics and of political analysis. the course will allow students to acquire the analytical tools to understand and examine politics comparatively and to reflect about it in a sophisticated manner. it will do so by providing students with an overview of the epistemological and methodological issues that are central to the definition of comparative politics, as well as of the various approaches that shape our understanding of this field of study within political science. the course will stimulate the development of a sophisticated understanding of politics by focusing on several key overaching themes in the study of comparative politics, as well as on a comprehensive overview of contemporary comparative analyses of political institutions, actors and processes. the 48 hours of lectures and seminars that form this core course in the major in politics and government have been designed to offer students a coherent approach in their learning by combining and complementing the lecture materials with the readings and practical cases that will be discussed in the seminar sessions. both components (lectures and seminars) are an integral part of the course, and experience indicates that only students that attend both the lectures and the seminars are likely to achieve good grades in the course. this entails actively engaging with the lectures and seminars, as well as carefully preparing the readings assigned for both the lectures and the seminars.","comparative politics analyse, study comparative politics, comparative politics, comparative politics comprehensive, politics comparative politics, comparative analyses political, politics comparative","comparative politics analyse, study comparative politics, politics, democracies, political, institutions, government","comparative politics, political systems, institutions, year course introduction, middle east, analytical tools, definition"
