Course Description
Shakespeare's tragedies are performed, filmed, read, and taught all over the world, making Shakespeare a truly global force. The study of power, race, and violence in his tragedies speak to all human desires and emotions. This course focuses on four plays: ROMEO AND JULIET, KING LEAR, OTHELLO, and TITUS ANDRONICUS. The course examines how the plays were received in their own time, and how they would have been communicated to spectators at the Rose or the Globe. The emphasis is on the text, historical context, and performance traditions. The course also examines modern performances, particularly cinematic adaptations, of each of these plays throughout the world: Mexican and Malaysian versions of OTHELLO, an African KING LEAR, ROMEO AND JULIET in Southeast Asia, and TITUS in Ireland. The course examines why the contemporary world remains fascinated by the nexus of power and desire staged by Shakespeare, and includes opportunities to learn from Shakespearean film directors and theater practitioners.

Course Description
This course examines the representation of London in films made from the 1920s to the present. It explores the social and cultural forces that have given rise to changing views of the city over time, as well as the diversity of 'Londons' that may arise within a single time period. Through analysis of a wide range of films, the course investigates how the city has been imagined, and what meanings it has embodied, in a wide variety of genres and time periods. Students develop skills necessary to deconstruct, decode, and interpret filmic imagery, sound, dialogue, and story, and demonstrate how their knowledge and understanding of London's history in the 20th century can be applied to film analysis with reference to both textual and contextual factors.

Course Description
This course covers the fundamental principles of general non-equilibrium thermodynamics. It examines applications of single-constituent fluids, and provides background for all applications in engineering. Students learn what is meant by the terms thermodynamic system; state; property; equilibria; first and second laws of thermodynamics; formal definitions energy, entropy, temperature, work and heat interactions; extensive property; intensive property; simple fluid system; internal energy; entropy; temperature and pressure of a simple fluid system; static; stagnation; and total properties. The course explores ideal and perfect gases and derives expressions for their internal energy, enthalpy, entropy, and specific heat capacities. Students use tables of thermodynamic properties and perform simple calculations on the performance of energy conversion devices and simple thermodynamic cycles. They gain an understanding of the requirement of equality of temperature, pressure and specific Gibbs function for equilibrium between phases of a pure (single constituent) fluid.

Course Description
This course examines contemporary works of literature and film revolving around the topics of migration and transcultural experiences. It is designed to familiarize students with some key themes and concepts in the field, such as displacement and diaspora, memory and belonging, language and identity, cultural hybridity, and third space. By exploring texts and films originally produced in English, French, and German , it takes a comparative stance, considering the differences and similarities between the migration experiences and their artistic manifestations in different western European countries.

This course explores the significance of dimensions of identity and meaning for dynamics of managing and organizing. It examines associated questions regarding knowledge and learning and their role in management education and wider organizational life. The course draws upon an eclectic and innovative range of theory, literature, and other media, including novels and films, as means by which to open up and explore the experiential and "existential" dimensions that structure and deconstruct modern work organization.
