The course is only offered as a single subject course for incoming exchange students. International Relations Theory is a time-honoured approach to the social world. Texts that are clearly recognisable as dealing with international relations date back to the ancient Greeks. Still, most textbooks in the field take a geographically and historically very parochial stance towards its own field. It i
This interdisciplinary course deals with the rhetorical use of media to establish power – in the past and in the present. We study the impact of new communication technologies such as writing, print and broadcasting on rhetoric, and we critically discuss rhetorical strategies and propaganda used by politicians and potentates.
Våra samhällen och liv är i allt större utsträckning datafierade, och formade av insamling, analys och användning av digitala data. Då detta föränderliga datalandskap innebär nya möjligheter till kunskap och handling, så medför det också nya former av svårigheter och risker. Denna kurs ger en introduktion till kritiska perspektiv på datafiering och hur det påverkar vårt sätt att leva och nå kunskaOur societies and lives are to an increasing extent datafied, and shaped by means of collecting, analysing and utilising digital data. As this transforming data landscape offers new opportunities for knowledge and action, it also involves novel forms of concerns and risks. This course offers an introduction to critical perspectives on datafication, how it impacts ways of knowing and living, and it

Denna tvärvetenskapliga kurs behandlar frågorna som rör liv i Universum. Var kan det finnas liv? Måste det vara en planet som vår jord? Hur utvecklas liv på en planet? Hur extrema förhållanden klarar liv? Vi diskuterar dessa och liknande frågor ur fysikaliska, biologiska och sociala perspektiv. I kursen tar vi också upp metoder för att upptäcka och utforska planeter kring andra stjärnor (exoplanThis multi-disciplinary course treats the question of life in the Universe. Where can life have developed? Must it be on a planet similar to Earth? How does life on a planet develop and evolve? Under what extreme circumstances can life persist? We discuss these and similar questions from physical, biological and social perspectives. In the course we also treat methods to find and explore pl
The thesis should be a synthesis and further development of the knowledge and competences gained during the three terms of course work in LUMES on top of undergraduate studies. The thesis work should develop the student’s potential for professional sustainability work and/or for further research. The process puts great demands on the capacity to w
Varje år orsakar luftföroreningar 7 miljoner dödsfall globalt. Klimatet både värms och kyls av luftföroreningar, vilket gör dem till en av de största osäkerhetsfaktorerna i klimatmodeller. Den gröna omställningen och vår strävan efter cirkulär ekonomi kommer innebära att några luftföroreningskällor försvinner, men också att nya kommer att introduceras. Dessa komplexa problem behöver angripas transEvery year, 7 million people die due to exposure to air pollution. Air pollution both heats and cools global temperatures, hence it is one of the major reasons for uncertainties in climate models. The green transition and our aim for a circular economy will remove some of our current air pollution sources but introduce new ones. These complex questions demand a transdisciplinary approach. This cou
In the course we will discuss the broad field of gender studies and the central issues, key concepts and analytical tools in the current debates regarding inequalities, diversities and social change relevant for sustainability. The course draws on global, regional and local empirical examples to illustrate issues of how gender and sustainability interact. We will analyse similarities, differences
This course gives you a much improved first hand understanding of the rise of Asia’s two giants – China and India. First, modernisation and industrialisation in socialist China is explored from the pre-communist era until today. The process of transition from plan to market economy is unravelled. The institutional set-up and socio-economic achievements of the emerging market economy are contraste
The content of the course is delimited of both teaching and literature. Historical evidence suggests that the quality and efficiency of a country’s institutions, such as law enforcement, property rights, and civil rights, are significant elements of its economic and development performance. Furthermore, the extent of inequality in a society is highly related to the quality of institutions and ther
The course will introduce and elaborate on various theoretical perspectives of war and peace in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Central issues to be discussed and compared over time are (1) the causes of the conflict, such as identity, nationalism, religion, territory and great power politics; (2) the Middle Peace Process (MEPP), which highlights the various agreements, peacebuilding by third pa
Den här kursen behandlar samtida och historiska konflikter om sanningen inom ramen för bredare diskussioner om kunskap, expertis, tvivel, tillit, makt och modernitet. Under kursens gång kommer du att undersöka hur konspirationsteorier, rykten och skvaller påverkar politik, hälsa, religion och ekonomi. Kursen tar upp både universella och kulturellt specifika egenskaper för konspirationsteorier och This course deals with contemporary and historical conflicts over truth within broader discussions about knowledge, expertise, doubt, trust, power, and modernity. Throughout the course, you will examine how conspiracy theories, rumours and gossip influence politics, health, religion and the economy. The course addresses both universal and culturally specific characteristics of conspiracy theories
The course covers the development of European integration after the Second World War with a special focus on questions concerning national and supranational identities and values. The aim is to study the EU's development from the time of the European Coal and Steel Community to the UK's withdrawal in 2020, partly chronologically, but also based on a present-day perspective.
Kursen introducerar studenter för ett representativt urval dikter från den brittiska romantiska perioden (c. 1770-1830). Det här var en tid av omvälvande konstnärliga, samhälleliga, vetenskapliga och kunskapsmässiga förändringar, och som också såg tillkomsten av det 'moderna' Europa. Många av de kulturella debatter som fortfarande sysselsätter Europa idag härrör från denna tid. Poesi spelade en viThe course will introduce students to a representative selection of poetry from the British Romantic period (c. 1770-1830). This was a time of profound artistic, social, scientific, and epistemic change which witnessed the birth of 'modern' Europe and inaugurated many of the cultural debates that still preoccupy European society today. Poetry played an important role in both shaping and refle
