Course Description
In this course students explore methods of creating new public domains through designing and constructing small scale architectural interventions in 1:1 in close collaboration with local site and community. A studio is set up away from the university and into sites in transformation that provide students with interesting and relevant contexts to explore and respond to. The focus is on urban areas in transition such as former industrial sites, challenged public or semi-public domains and landscapes that hold potentials for new content. Students examine and reflect on planning issues around the case area that can be investigated form a theoretical and strategic perspective and explore places from a phenomenological and perceptual position by prototyping site-specific urban interventions into an existing spatial situation. Thus, a broad strategic design approach is supplemented by small interventions that can initiate a transformation process. The location provides site-specific context to work into in terms of spatial qualities, planning conditions, historic development, as well as social and cultural character. Through careful site readings, students explore the physical, social and processual conditions of a place. Students analyze site conditions, formulate future scenarios, and construct urban interventions that respond to the current spatial qualities while simultaneously setting out a potential trajectory for the future. The drafting table is complemented by a strong presence on site developing projects in hand-crafted and local customized processes. This approach has important implications for the design process, for the interpretation of the site context and particularly for learning about space through the interaction of analysis and making by hand.

GENDER LAW & LEGAL
UCEAP Quarter Units

UCEAP Semester Units

Course Description
This course studies the interrelationship between gender, law, and legal culture. Addressing issues of gender underlines the importance of status in the contemporary world as it is reflected in community norms and state and international law, as well as in traditions and religions which stress the importance of gender and sexuality. Addressing the concept and understanding of legal cultures underlines a context different from the state, such as in intimate relations, spiritual communities or in economic relations including workplace and the market. The course seeks to increase the awareness of intersections between gender and culture in contemporary legal practices, and to research how both concepts meet, cooperate, compete, and change in these processes. The course seeks to improve the understanding of normative forces beyond state law and of their relevance and impact on both individuals and groups and the different and overlapping contexts they operate within. This course addresses many areas of legal and broader cultural practice where considerations of gender are typically omitted as traditionally taught in legal education, including newer twenty-first century concerns. These include reflections on: the role of authority and institutions on gendering legal decisions, the notion of gendered criminality, the influence on linguistic choices on judgments, the role of new technology and digital life on law and gender, gender minorities and the law, the legal responses to inter-generational responsibility, climate change and gender, the gendered family and work place, gender, law, culture and religion, gender and asylum gender and trans-national legal culture, post-colonialism, globalization, and international law. The course arms students with a point of view to not envision gender as a buzzword but as a social practice with legal effects. In this way it looks to develop young lawyers to not just consider gender as a side note, but as an avenue to approach the law and produce adequate and empowered institutions.

Course Description
The first part of this course explores currents trends in transnational writing that demand a reconsideration of what it means to be a subject at home in a complexly intertwined world that cannot be traced back to Britain's role as a colonial center. The second part of the course focuses on English and American novels and discusses what appears to be a current re-orientation of the postmodern project towards narratives that turn on character development, coherence between form and content, and overtly probe tone and style – but with a twist.

Course Description
This course introduces the main theoretical models and the empirical methods employed to explain and measure consciousness. It discusses the neurobiological mechanisms possibly underlying the emergence of consciousness and why science needs to embrace conceptual and philosophical levels of analysis. The course outlines the multi-faceted nature of consciousness by discussing different aspects of the phenomenon in normal as well as abnormal conditions. It encourages active discussions and critical thinking regarding the current state of knowledge about how the brain relates to the mind. This version of the course is worth 6 quarter UC units.

Course Description
This course provides students with an understanding of the major political processes, structures, and actors shaping political developments in the contemporary Middle East. It discusses the main theoretical and analytical approaches that dominates the study of the Middle East. The course presents the students with ongoing debates as to which, if any, International Relations theory is best equipped to grasp the key dynamics of Middle East international relations or whether one must look beyond standard theories when seeking to understand the Middle East. The course uses different cases to introduce students to interactions between different types of actors and how these interactions shape Middle Eastern politics and the state. This includes transnational and local armed non-state actors such as Islamic State or the Houthis in Yemen. It relates these interactions to shifts in global politics such as US policies towards the Middle East, the growing role of China and Russia, as well as regional dynamics, most notably the effects of the regional competition between Iran and Saudi Arabia. The course focuses on political processes before, during, and after violent conflicts, often intrastate but with some form of third-party intervention. As part of this, the course investigates how asymmetric power relations play out for example as this relates to the use of drones or the use of state and non-state proxies. The course encourages students to think critically about the universality of theories and concepts including how international power relations affect and are part of ongoing struggles to frame perceptions of political events in the Middle East.

Course Description
The course focuses on selected theories, discourses, and concepts for urban design. It encompasses visions and plans for the morphology of cities, the interplay with social and ecological sustainability, and ideas about the ideal city and good urban life from the 19th century through today. The course concentrates on three main themes of contemporary urban development: pre-modern to post-modern urban design, place making and the role of public space, and sustainable urban development and urban nature. It discusses central paradigms and various approaches to city design and re-design. The contemporary city is used to illustrate how urban design concepts and models have been operationalized and have influenced practice.
