Course Description
This course examines the realms of citizen science, Do-It-Yourself (DIY) science and community co-design as means to garner and understand the meaning and value of multiple knowledges. The course focuses on food, a topic that touches everyone and can be understood in multiple ways. The course starts with introductory lectures into the principles and philosophy of citizen science, an introduction to DIY chemical analysis techniques and their methods of development, critical and co-design methods, an introduction to multiple knowledge, and the socio-politics of changing modes of producing knowledge. In the second part of the course, students use practice-based methods to gain personal insights into these topics. In a series of workshops held at NewVIc, UCL students take the lead in disseminating DIY science methods within the community, and explore with the community ways to gain knowledge about food, and its meanings to us. These explorations draw on a variety of perspectives including scientific analysis, direct experience, and cultural attitudes. Students then co-design with the community food experiences that draw on these multiple knowledges.

Course Description

The ancient Greek world is well known for its remarkable political developments, striking military successes and lasting cultural achievements, yet the economic base which sustained all these things has long been regarded as a simple agricultural subsistence economy, typical of the pre-industrial world. This course examines whether the evidence for economic development across Greece in the archaic period (c. 750-450 BC) and the economic systems of Athens and Sparta in the classical period (c. 450-300 BC) supports that characterization or suggests a more complex picture.
