Présentation

Modalités

Forms of instruction

At the start of each class, students will be asked to present the readings listed in the syllabus. These presentations will be followed by an in-depth discussion which will be the occasion for the students to connect the conceptual discussion to the pragmatic realities of security as they experience it in the daily life. After a short break, I will then lecture with the double aim of grasping the most crucial elements discussed in class and establishing the continuities from one class to the other.

Students will be graded on the basis of a presentation in class (25%) and final essai due at the end of the semester (75%).

Final grades will be rounded (+/- 0,5 pts) depending on the students overall participation in class.

Attendance and Participation: Attendance is mandatory. Active participation to the discussions during the course is important. Beyond my own lecture, it is expected that students fully engage in the dynamic of the course.
