This unit consists of a weekly two-hour seminar involving lecture presentations, discussions, and other activities. Attendance at all meetings of the seminar is required.

The coordinators of this unit strive to create an inclusive and supportive environment in the seminar, and thus will work with students to create a space where debate and dialogue can flourish. As we will discuss in class, we also expect that students will contribute to this environment through active class participation and participation in peer learning.
