This course introduces non-law students to international law rules, dispute resolution institutions, and procedures. The course is composed of theoretical and practical elements to help students with no previous legal knowledge familiarize themselves with various underlying issues of international law.  Class activities include reading cases; redacting simple legal documents, and participating in mock trials (dependent on class number/size). 

This course is divided into two parts. The first part of the course teaches the basic concepts of organic chemistry; in particular, the structure and reactivity relationship (stereochemistry and electronic effects). The second part focuses on chemical reactivity of aliphatic (alkanes, alkenes, alkynes) and aromatic (benzene derivatives) compounds.

In this course, students study two classic Victorian novels alongside poetry, drama, essays, scientific writing, and paintings and visual material. The course demonstrates the extraordinary range of experimentation in Victorian literary writing and art in this period. For example, students read Dickens's DOMBEY AND SON to think about modernity and machines in the 1840s, but also to think about the sea and the maritime nature of the British empire. Other seminars are spent finding out what the Victorians thought and felt about nature, gardens, animals, science, sexual pleasure and pain, religion, the violence of British imperialism, environmental exploitation, a growing commodity culture, capitalism, and the changing status of women.
