As a preparatory exercise for writing your course paper, please select at least two of the texts below and read them before the seminar. The reading list below should be seen as a resource to deepen your knowledge on a topic you have decided to focus on, or to learn more about a possible topic to write about.

The texts are about a number of different topics, and at the seminar we will break into smaller groups to narrow down our discussion and explore your chosen topics more deeply. In preparation for this seminar, please read your chosen texts carefully and formulate at least one interesting and relevant discussion point that you feel is evoked by each text. If you choose to read texts of different topic areas, please indicate which one of them you would like to discuss at the seminar.

The discussion that you bring to the seminar can focus on something you would like to deepen your understanding on, or on any aspects you perceive as unclear or as not sufficiently developed in the text. Please prepare a short introduction to the text(s) in order to explain the context of the point you want to discuss with the remaining class. We will then together discuss the texts during the seminar, and make connections with the wider issues discussed in the course to further develop your planned course paper topic.

Please upload your question including a short text (approx. one page) where you reflect on the question you have formulated no later than 12pm on Monday, 22 February.
