This course is based on the book of A: N. Kolmogorov and S. V. Fomin, "Introductory real analysis", you can buy this book and it is very cheap; the book will be used for other courses, "Functional Analysis", "Topology", and "Distribution Theory", so it may be useful to buy it in the paper form; but in principle you can work with the electronic version.

The free pdf-file of the book can be found at 

http://tomlr.free.fr/Math%E9matiques/Fichiers%20Claude/Auteurs/Kolmogorov/Introductory%20Real%20Analysis%20-%20Kolmogorov%20Fomin(1).pdf

This course will be based on chapters 7-10, chapter 1 (set theory) is supposed to be know, so please read it in advance.

Hej!

Vi startar denna kurs på måndag den 6 november kl 13:15 i Tegnérsalen V Lärosal. Då kommer vi att ha en introduktion av kursen samt gå igenom vad kursen handlar om och vilka olika övningar och examinationsmoment som ingår. Det är viktigt att du kan närvara vid denna uppstart eftersom vi då går igenom förutsättningarna för det "projektarbete" som ni skall utföra parallellt under hela kursen. Som ni förstår kommer ni alltså att även i denna kurs jobba i projektgrupper och under måndagen den 6 november behöver vi fastställa dessa grupper så att ni så tidigt som möjligt kommer att kunna starta upp ert projektarbete.

Denna kurs fokuserar på arbetsformen projekt och hur de skall styras och ledas. Detta är en av de vanligaste arbetsformerna i arbetslivet och många branscher, som t.ex. bygg och IT, är i stort helt drivna genom en mängd olika projekt. Det andra fokus som finns i kursen är "teknisk kommunikation" som i detta sammanhang handlar om ett vetenskapligt arbetssätt. I era framtida yrken är det troligt att ni inte bara kommer arbeta i olika projekt utan att det också kommer att krävas ett vetenskapligt förhållningssätt från er. Av den anledningen skall ni alltså i era projektgrupper utföra ett undersökningsarbete som skall redovisas i slutet av kursen. Mer information om detta projektarbete kommer att finnas här på MyMoodle innan kursstart.

Under kursen kommer vi att varva föreläsningar och arbete i grupp. Alla föreläsningsbilder kommer att läggas upp på MyMoodle, redan nu kan du hitta förra årets bilder här. Observera dock att innehåll och turordning på olika ämnen kan ändras under årets kurs så det är inte säkert att innehåll och bildordning är exakt densamma som det var förra året. Halvvägs in i kursen kommer en uppdaterad lista på instuderingsfrågor att läggas upp (förra årets instuderingsfrågor finns nedan). Tentamen som sker i januari kommer baseras på dessa instuderingsfrågor.

Vi som hälsar er välkomna till kursen är:

+change! 

This semester is dedicated to the design approach meta-design, where the designer aims to be an active part in change-processes using designerly means. The semester is planned as a whole, where the different parts build on each other towards you carrying out a change-project as well as discussing, critically evaluating and contextualizing the design process from the perspective of sustainability. 

To apply and practice the learning focuses of this course, you will work on one design project for the entire semester. The theme for this project will be Surplus of Homes.

The course offers a critical overview of slavery and slave trade on a global level, surveying the research trends of the last decades. Historical as well as literary perspectives are applied. While slavery has been a fact of life as long as human records exist, an analytic and comparative approach to the phenomenon is relatively late. A great deal of attention has been devoted to the Trans-Atlantic trafficking in humans, and slave labour in the Americas. More recently, slave-based economies in the Mediterranean and the Indian Ocean World have come into the limelight. Hitherto neglected groups with a slave-like status, in places like India, China, and Korea, are now being explored. Moreover, the plight of humans in the contemporary world with a bonded and permanently subservient status has called for attention. The course aims to address the “curse of the particular” which has long haunted research on slavery and failed to address connectivities and comparisons between different regions. It also wishes to challenge the Atlantic paradigm that has tended to see slavery from a matrix of European-led employment of slave labour. Attention is put on the great methodological strides in recent decades, where new and innovative uses of the source material has yielded a wealth of information about slavery as a condition and a process, not least illuminating its gendered aspects. During the course the great structural variety of enslavement and degrees of unfree status over the world will be discussed. Economic-historical theories about the rationale of slavery, from early scholars such as Marx and Nieboer to modern ones such as James Warren and Peter Boomgaard, are surveyed. Moreover, the memories and narratives of slavery in literary texts are analyzed.

This course deals with imperial dominance and resistance and their role in the making of the modern world. You will be introduced to causes and consequences of modern imperialism and colonialism from the 15th century until the present, with particular attention to the period from the mid-18th century until the end of the first World War. The course has a special focus on theories of imperialism and questions of inequality, violence, borderlands, gender, race and cilivisation.

Dear Students,

Welcome to the course on Democratization Studies 

The structure and contents of the course are presented in the study guide and in the syllabus. If you have questions about the course in general, please contact Elvis Bisong Tambe. 

Also important information regarding communication during the course. I prefer to handle as much communication as possible via MyMoodle. The reason is simple: any information we give will be available for everyone if it is posted in the forums.

Also, before you ask anything, please have a look at the study guide, instructions for the seminars and assignments, etc.

I hope that you will enjoy the course and find it useful in your own research!
