Course Description
This course is an introduction to the field of linguistics, starting with a brief history of the ideas that lead to current theories of language. It introduces the main areas of inquiry in the field, including language variation and change over time, language and the brain, language acquisition and linguistic diversity. The course examines what have been traditionally regarded as "core" areas in linguistics, i.e. the foundations required for the theory and analysis of human language: these include the study of sound patterns (phonetics and phonology), word and sentence structure (morphology and syntax), and meaning (semantics). These are some of the more fundamental tools that linguists use to analyze language.

Course Description
This course examines key questions and debates about crime, order and disorder in city landscapes. It focuses on three broad issues: competing meanings and practices of the city (the what and the who questions); the relationship between crime, space and place (the where and the how questions); and the complex mix of informal and formal social controls that influence different types and levels of crime and the urban imagination. Its overall objective is to provide the criminological knowledge and conceptual tools to think critically and comparatively about crime, social order and social harm in an increasingly globalizing and polarizing world.
