LAW & VIOLENCE-MOD EUR EMPIRES

This class will explore the history of the relationship between law and violence in Europe and its imperial formations in the modern age. We will examine both debates and practices: readings will be drawn from intellectual and legal history as well as from the history of European imperialism and colonialism. The French and British cases will be at the center of our reflection but we will also envisage links with other European empires and with US History.

BIOGEOSCIENCE SEMINAR

POLAR ECOLOGY

The course will focus on reading and discussing recent papers from the primary biogeoscience literature, arranged thematically around a subject that is of interest to the students in the course. Students will gain exposure to the primary literature, gain experience in evaluating published research, and gain presentation experience.
Recommended Preparation: One 4000-level or higher course in biogeoscience (or instructor approval).Meeting time: One day a week for 75 minutes
Grading: P/F
Required Readings, Expectations/Assignments/Basis for Evaluation: weekly reading and discussions of recent papers from the biogeoscience literature. Students will take a significant role in leading discussion during at least one class period. Evaluation will be based on student performance in presentations and participation in discussions.
Weekly schedule: each week, students will read, present and discuss 1-3 papers from the current biogeoscience literature
Note location:  This seminar meets at the Lamont Campus
