Course Description
The course requires students to grapple with the multiple dimensions of socio-environmental relationships and seeks to assist them in doing so by teaching them the interdisciplinary field of environmental sociology. It explores different philosophical frameworks and theoretical constructs, which provide distinctive insights into the ways in which human beings continuously (re)create their social and natural environments, and how these environments influence individual behavior and social organization. This course helps students to develop their capacity to describe, analyze and understand historical and contemporary environmental issues and social movements, and to make constructive contributions to environmental policy debates.

Course Description
This half course unit is designed for students whose principal discipline is not Biochemistry, but whose interests lie in the broad area of biological sciences. It is primarily a lecture course with tutorials and a dry lab practical on protein structures. The course covers key topics in protein structure and function. The depth of understanding of these topics that students attain equips them for final year studies in non-molecular based fields of biological science such as Anthropology, Psychology, and Physiology, or in some cases Human Sciences.

Course Description
This course offers an introduction, theoretical overview, and analytical approach to race and gender and considers what work the concepts of gender and race might do for us in a critical - specifically feminist and anti-racist - struggle. The class focuses on sociological understandings of intersectionality and related concepts, and explores how the intersections of gender, race, sexuality, and class can produce and reproduce inequalities. Grounding the discussions in black feminist thought, the module provides a comprehensive body of knowledge, including the effects of interlocking oppressions (Crenshaw 1993), how the concepts of gender and race are implicated in a broad range of social phenomena beyond the sexual and racial difference, the power of counter-narrative, and accounts of situated lived-experience.
