COURSE DETAIL
The aim of this course is two-fold: to take a retrospective view to trace the evolution of media sociology, and a prospective view to assess current challenges confronting sociological analyses of the new media paradigm – monopoly-owned and user-driven digital platforms – the business models which underpin them, including algorithmic journalism, and their perceived "surveillance" effects.
COURSE DETAIL
This course examines geography education, past, present, and future. Geography in schools is the focus, with some other educational contexts considered. The course offers a space for students to reflect on their own geographical education, considering how and why geography education varies. Students are encouraged to think about the potential of geography in education, as the world changes.
COURSE DETAIL
This is a research-led and research-based course, providing an introduction to the fields of cultural and historical geography. It has a slightly different emphasis to other courses because it explores some of the philosophies and methodologies used to create cultural and historical geographies, and is designed to give students the experience and confidence to undertake their own independent research using UCL’s museum and archive collections. The course encourages students to think critically about questions of representation, different kinds of materials, forms of analysis, and engage with questions of politics and ethics.
COURSE DETAIL
The course helps students to become confident with a range of data structures and algorithms and able to apply them in realistic situations. The course provides the tools required to analyze a problem and decide which algorithms or algorithmic techniques to apply to solve it. The course involves practical programming and encourages a thoughtful approach to analysis and design problems.
COURSE DETAIL
This course explores the relationship between literary texts and their precursors. The course moves from the ancient world of classical Greece, Rome, and the Middle East to the present day. Students focus on the transhistorical, however, not chronological. The course introduces some of the ways in which writers speak to one another across and through time, considering what it means for a writer to invoke other literary texts in their work. Students explore different theoretical models for thinking about this relationship, moving beyond ideas of influence to instead consider more creative ways in which texts have existed in relation to one another.
COURSE DETAIL
In this course, students read, view, and analyze a selection of plays, performances, and other texts that pose gender as a central problem. In conjunction with these performance texts, students also read a variety of theoretical texts that offer methods both for interpreting gender in performance and for understanding gender as performance. The course focuses on theatre and performance works produced from the 1950s to the present and covers a range of performance forms, including dramatic realism, experimental theatre, performance art, and drag performance.
COURSE DETAIL
This course introduces students to the key ideas of Game Theory and strategic thinking, allowing them to use game theoretic tools to analyze real world problems. Students see applications in industrial organization, auctions, competition and cooperation, voting, solving environment problems, and arms races.
COURSE DETAIL
This course introduces students to geographical scholarship that has sought to explain, understand, and critically analyze the manifold relationships between space and society in different contexts. The course familiarizes students with innovative geographical research exploring issues such as, for example, environment and uneven development; culture, the global, and the local; transnationalism and migration; gender, race, identity; politics, the state, and regions; empire, colonialism, and postcolonialism; nature, materiality, and non-human agencies.
COURSE DETAIL
In this course, students learn how to use a range of marketing analytics techniques to analyze, visualize, and interpret data from various sources such as surveys, transaction data, and data from social media platforms. To effectively analyze these data, students learn how to use typical software packages to develop practical solutions to specific marketing problems. In contrast to other marketing courses, particular emphasis is placed in guiding students step-by-step on how to conduct specific data analyses using suitable software. Students learn how various marketing analytical techniques, tools, metrics, and data sources can be used to address fundamental challenges marketing managers face today in the age of Big Data.
COURSE DETAIL
Students examine the legal standards that govern the state’s power to control, coerce, and punish those suspected (or proven) to have committed crimes. Students also explore how these laws are exercised by legal actors, including police, prosecutors and judges in their routine decisions and practices. The course speaks directly to the real-world issues and controversies encountered by criminal justice systems in many developed democracies today – racial injustices, abuses of police power, mass incarceration, penal populism, law’s potential to reform organizations, to name but a few.
