  1. RULES OF THE ROAD • No smoking • Mobiles off please • If I’m not clear or you disagree - hand up! • No laughing at, but good to laugh with • We all get a fair turn MORE??

  2. A PUBLIC COURSE • Welcome to all from outside HÍ • Attendance likely to vary each week • Explain attendance list • How to get the materials: • Students’ needs – they will have precedence in second part

  3. What you can expect from me • Experience not diplomas • ‘Global’ approach • Concepts not theories • Politics and ethics • ‘In the now’ and forward-looking

  4. Process • Lecture (me or guest) max 50 mins, (less if more speakers) and Q+A • Coffee break around 1430 • Interactive/active session (instructions given week before + materials put on Uglan) • Extra events??

  5. THIE MISSING SESSION (Because of one week’s delay in starting) Will discuss in class next week: • how to fill the gap • - what topic (economic security or….)

  6. MORE DETAILS FOR STUDENTS • Points given: half for exam, half for essay • Essay instructions on Ugla (Verkefni) by end-January • To be handed in by 9 April • Reading AND/OR research assignments before each session – some reading to be given later • ‘Further reading’ list

  7. USING UGLA • LOVE IT OR HATE IT – there is no alternative! • Kennsuáætlun = Course Programme • Námsefni = reading material • Verkefni = exercises and instructions • (Sound recordings)

  8. WHAT WE ARE UP AGAINST • Course title combines two fields that are both new, big, difficult and sometimes controversial • Debate in Iceland (+ Norden!) so far limited or tends to be fragmented • What definitions, what limits? What values and principles?

  9. SURVIVAL SUGGESTIONS • We go a step at a time (even if sometimes in strange sequence) • We realize we are cutting a path through jungle rather than covering the whole map • We bear in mind that we may already know this stuff and be good at it, but under a different name • We use real-life sources and cases whenever possible • I get help from real experts inc. from Iceland • We all try to stretch minds and keep them open

  10. ANY QUESTIONS? • ...............
