Course Description
The course examines the topic of organized crime, starting with the different definitions of organized crime, and why it is different from other categories of serious crime. It provides an overview of the historical context of organized crime, theories, and research of the topic, and the practical implications of investigation. Students learn about different types of organized crime groups, and explore the definitions of mafia, cartel, syndicates, and gangs. Prominent research and theoretical underpinnings are used to describe the different types of organized crime activities, such as human trafficking, drug trafficking, arms trafficking, and cybercrime. Students examine the intersections of organized crime and terrorism, and the transnational nature of organized crime.

Course Description
The course investigates topical environmental themes important to the well-being of our planet within the context of a long-term perspective (using palaeoscience approaches). It encourages students to publicly participate in the themes developed by the creation and maintenance of a weblog site. Lectures introduce either an ecosystem or environmental problem, followed by an overview of how that ecosystem functions, or how the environmental problem manifests itself. Lectures conclude with case studies detailing how a palaeoscience perspective adds to understanding of the ecosystem under threat, or problem identified.

Course Description

Students are introduced to a range of graphic skills that can be used to observe, record, and analyze urban settings in order to substantiate proposals for improvement. It combines the value of traditional free-hand sketching and technical drawing techniques with digital graphic tools and software, which are becoming increasingly important in the way we think, design, and communicate our ideas, in the contemporary information e-rich environment. Students work in small teams to develop their creativity and employ the practical skills taught in class to investigate an allocated urban streetscape in the surrounding area of UCL in London. They produce presentation panels that communicate coherent, clear, and legible information on urban analysis, before proceeding to produce a poster that reasons an inclusive environment proposal.

Course Description

This course examines different ways of defining the economy and their implications for measuring, managing, and changing it. We will engage with a range of critical theoretical perspectives, some of which suggest broad interpretations of the economy that extends beyond corporations to consider domains such as unpaid household labor and different scales of government, as well as the role of social categories such as gender and race in shaping economies. As students build up a sophisticated conceptual understanding, they explore competing explanations for geographical differences in economic activities, wealth and development, as well as the relations between places.

Course Description

This course takes students on a journey of discovery and wider understanding, when thinking about complex sustainable development challenges. The focus is on the global problems of climate change and social inequalities, as well as the societal responses to these, particularly from an economics lens. Contrary to the conventional way of teaching economics, the course pursues a tour-de-force of diverse and rich economic perspectives, rather than following standard textbooks and their typical insistence on a particular strand of economic thinking. The course is problem-oriented with special attention given to critical thinking, differing views, and practical and policy implications. The emphasis is first on observed empirics and factual trends concerning the respective sustainability provocations, before diving into the explanatory body of pluralist economics and wide range of policy actions. Moreover, the course boosts students’ creativity and imagination, engages participants, and allows for plenty of interaction. It also proposes a novel, experimental element to the teaching method by connecting economic thinking with the world of arts and culture to illustrate a point more vividly,

HIST POLIT THOUGHT
UCEAP Quarter Units

Course Description

Contemporary political debate remains indebted to concepts and arguments developed in the history of political thought. This course explores this history by examining a select number of signal figures and movements in the history of modern Western political thought. Students engage in close, critical reading of canonical texts. Students learn how to accurately interpret and critically evaluate the arguments in those texts, and thereby learn how to deal with the legacy those arguments have left for contemporary debates.
Thinkers to be studied might range from the well-known and canonical to the lesser-known and unjustly neglected. Possible figures might include: Thomas Hobbes, Montesquieu, David Hume, Jean-Jacques Rousseau, Catharine Macaulay, Ottobah Cugoano, Olaudah Equiano, Olympe de Gouges, Mary Wollstonecraft, G. W. F. Hegel, Flora Tristan, J. S. Mill, Frederick Douglass, and Karl Marx. Possible movements to be examined include: social contract theory; natural rights theory; republicanism and civic virtue; feminism and the rights of women; socialism and the emancipation of workers; and abolitionism and the emancipation of slaves.
