| CONTENTS |
This course is a specialization course in the International Master’s Programme in Science, Technology and Society.
The course will present theories of policy and technology and especially theories that emphasize governmentality. |
| TEACHING |
The main formats of course instruction are lectures, seminars and workshops. The latter two formats stress group discussion and rely on student initiative, making them responsive to the articulation of students’ interests. The approach to instruction is to some extent subject based, but a strong emphasis during discussions can be placed on relevance to students’ chosen research interests. Group discussion and students’ initiatives play central roles. Thus, students are expected to assume some part of the responsibility for defining the agenda of discussion within courses and for organising and carrying out seminars and workshops. Students are expected to dedicate full time efforts to the course (40 hours for each 1,5 credit).
Gender: The course is run so that both men’s and women’s experiences and knowledge is made visible and developed.
Language of instruction: English. |
| EXAMINATION |
Examination will be based on a combination of student participation and essay assignments.. Examined essays will be a literature review and a research proposal for the thesis. Students following this course but not part of the MA programme will be asked to submit the literature review and a research proposal as if they were going to write a thesis.
