Course Description
In 1800, two empires dominated the region of the Middle East: the Ottoman and Qajar Empires. Today, there are seventeen nation-states in the Middle East. How and why did this happen? This course serves as an introduction to the history of the modern Middle East with an emphasis on developing an understanding of how the region we call the Middle East came to take its current shape. Students explore the encounter with European modernity and subsequent European imperialism, modernisation efforts, responses to colonialism, the rise of new ideologies such as nationalism, and the role of religion in politics and political discourse. The course focuses on the Arab provinces of the Ottoman Empire, Iran, Turkey, and the Middle East in the 20th and 21st centuries.

Course Description
This course will review what is known about the origins of the major diseases of ageing, in the context of new insights into the fundamental biology of ageing. It will work towards replacing the fragmented view of senescent pathologies that characterizes contemporary medicine, with an integrated overview of senescence (ageing), the diseases that it causes and their interrelationships. You will gain an insight into how the knowledge obtained through the study of the biology of ageing can be harnessed to achieve better health in older humans.

Course Description
This design studio course explores the methodology of "critique by design" in issues related to the impact of urbanization and its meanings for urban landscape and urban form. The course focuses on design opportunities in an urban context that require an understanding of human behavior in existing neighborhoods, mixed-use sites and redevelopment areas in order to respond to the impact of urban growth, climate change, food production, flood and drought, erosion, deprivation of natural resources, and social justice. Students develop design frameworks through knowledge-based, sustainable, and environmentally-sound green design practices. The course considers the potential for landscape architecture to equitably enhance and elicit aesthetic and social connection within urban fabric. Students develop investigative and evaluative means around these concepts alongside the spatial and environmental concerns of dwelling and recreation.

The course introduces the basics of designing and analyzing feedback control systems using classical control methods. The class starts with basic reviews of dynamic systems and modeling. Topics covered include: feedback control concepts, transfer functions, linear and nonlinear modeling, time response, block diagrams, system stability, steady-state errors, Root Locus diagrams, compensator design and Bode diagrams. Students learn mathematical modeling and analysis of dynamic systems, the fundamentals of feedback control theory, stability considerations, and analysis and design of feedback systems in time and frequency domains. Course objectives are understanding mathematical modeling techniques for dynamic systems, understanding of the fundamental concepts of feedback control systems, and learning controller design methods in both time and frequency domains.

Course Description
This course focuses on the anthropological master trope of culture and on the political dimensions of representing culture or cultures. Students consider how anthropological understandings of culture, as well as anthropologists' modes of analyzing and representing it in anthropological work, developed over the 20th century, partially in conversation with other disciplines. The course also analyzes how culture operates as a key idea in the public domain, used by politicians, communities, human rights activists, artists, scientists, museum curators, and others in relation to a wide range of issues and debates when distinctions between "ourselves" and "others" are at stake. Finally, the course examines some activities within the cultural domain (such as music, dance, theater, and verbal artistry) which have a performative dimension, and consider how anthropologists have approached these activities to address questions about structure and agency, embodiment, experience, art and aesthetics, creativity, and power and protest.

Course Description
This course aims to create an environment (both intellectually and somatically) for exploring the body, mind, the environment, and our perceptions and interactions with them. The main focus is on Buddhist-derived practices that have been made applicable to modern life in the West and in Japan. The core qualities that these contemplative practices cultivate are mindfulness and compassion, and we seek to both understand, embody and observe these qualities throughout the course. This includes the cultural, philosophical, educational and historical trajectories, and their neuroscientific and psychological analyses. The instructor draws on a background in anthropology and Japanese educational theory.
