Course Description
This course introduces students to the key ideas of sociology by examining the relationship between individuals and societies. The course explores how social processes shape individual lives, and how changes that occur around us influence our sense of self. It draws on C. Wright Mills' idea of the "sociological imagination." Mills makes three claims: that individuals live within society, that they live a biography or a personal history, and that this takes place within a distinct historical sequence. It is the sociological imagination that provides a means of mapping and understanding the relationships among these three elements, and allows us as individuals to relate our personal lives to the often impersonal social world around us.

Course Description
In recent years, Islam has increasingly become the subject of public debate and discourse in the Western World as well as a core research topic in various disciplines in the social sciences. This course takes an in-depth look at Muslims and Islam in Europe and analyzes and discusses the present condition of Muslims living in Europe from a socio-anthropological perspective. In order to do so, Islam is first introduced from a general perspective. The first sessions of the course provide a review of theories of cultural difference and secularism. Having established this theoretical lens, the following sessions look at various public discourses regarding Islam and Muslims in Europe. Here, issues such as Islam-state relations, gender aspects, and everyday religious practices of Muslims in Europe are closely examined, accompanied by a critical analysis of particular public controversies regarding Islam. To get a good insight, various excursions are made.

Course Description
In this course students obtain knowledge about autobiographical memory and different aspects of episodic simulation such as future thinking and counterfactual thinking. They analyze similarities and differences between approaches in these fields and discuss the strengths and limitations of the central theories and methods used. Upon completing the course the students are able to assess the theoretical and empirical challenges within autobiographical memory and related fields, reflect critically on previous research, identify further testable questions, and structure arguments in a suitable academic style. The course focuses on the ability to 1) remember the past, 2) imagine the future, and 3) imagine alternative outcomes of past experiences that might have happened but did not occur. In order to get a solid understanding of this ability, students read both theoretical and empirical papers covering a broad range of topics such as autobiographical memory (characteristics, relation to self, functions, life-span retrieval), involuntary memories, future thinking, and episodic counterfactual thinking with a special emphasis on aging, emotion, and psychopathology.

The purpose of this course is to shed light on the Middle East region and discuss its historical, economic, social, and most importantly political realities. This course investigates the past and the present of the region.
