Course Description
This course explores the range of institutions created in response to various economic, security, and environmental challenges faced by states and other actors in the global system, and some of the most prominent theories aimed at explaining them. Students analyze a series of case studies of particular issue areas, from international peacekeeping, to the regulation of multinational corporations, and the struggle to slow global warming. More broadly, this course examines whether international organisations are instruments of or rivals to sovereign states, and whether they reflect the hegemony of the West, solutions to international collective problems, or are agents of new transnational communities.

Course Description
This course introduce a variety of coastal environments and the major processes which control the morphodynamic evolution of these systems. The course offers a unique opportunity of learning the full spectrum of marine sedimentary environments from siliciclastic, temperate, highly urbanized and impacted estuarine ecosystems to carbonate, tropical, pristine and undeveloped/protected coastal and continental margin environments. The course is divided in three sections: Section A covers the basic morphodynamics and processes impacting carbonate-dominated coastal and continental margin environments. The focus is on carbonate reefal and margin systems and their geologic and biologic responses to past, present and future environmental changes; Section B covers the basic morphodynamics of temperate and tropical coasts, including beach morphodynamics and basic knowledge on waves and currents; Section C consolidates all concepts learnt in the previous sections by applying them to numerical modelling. There is a compulsory weekend field trip to the NSW coast to study beach morphodynamics and fieldwork techniques. Depending on the year, there may be a voluntary field trip to a coral reef environment, for example, The University of Sydney One Tree Island Research Station.

This course examines the role of natural environments in the development of young Australians. Evidence suggests that time spent in the outdoors provides many psychological benefits for the individual. This course allows pre-service teachers to not only plan learning experiences based on these theories, but also to implement and reflect on these experiences in a natural outdoor setting during a three day camp.

From its beginnings as a convict colony, Sydney had to deal with an unsavory reputation. This course explores the history of the city of Sydney, its people and its places. Distinct communities and neighborhoods emerged as battles were fought over who belonged in Sydney, and how they should behave. Topics include Aboriginal resistance, convict scandals, poverty and plague, the Razor Gang Wars, Mardi Gras protests, the Emerald City excesses of the 1980s, and the Cronulla riots.

Course Description

This course combines formal classes with exploratory field trips. Traditional lectures are used as a space for conveying important concepts and information to students. Formal lectures are also supported by smaller tutorial classes where collaboration, discussion, and group work are employed to facilitate social learning and increase student knowledge and understanding of key ideas. The traditional lectures and tutorials are then enhanced by two unique expeditions into significant coastal and mountainous regions of New South Wales. These bushwalking field trips into The Royal National Park and Blue Mountains give students a chance to experience and be immersed in two distinctive Australian ecosystems.
