Beliefs and Decisions: of Minds and Machines
|
The aim of the course on "Beliefs and Decisions: of Minds and Machines" is to demonstrate that some basic principles of decision making can provide a unifying framework for constructing intelligently behaving artefacts on one hand, and for explaining human and animal cognition both in simple as well as in the most complex domains of behaviour on the other hand. To achieve this, lectures will progress via domains of gradually increasing abstraction that machine learning algorithms and humans deal with starting from representing uncertainty, beliefs about unobserved quantities, through learning internal models of the environment, to making adaptive and successful decisions.

Lived Space in Past and Present
|
The principal questions to be discussed during this one-week course on LIVED SPACE IN PAST AND PRESENT are: which are the main elements of the natural and built heritage of modern towns, how far back can they be traced and with which sources and methods? How can data on urban heritage be collected, ordered, presented and utilized? Attention will be paid to the social aspects as well: what part do space and place play in the development of a community or locale? What emphasis should historians place on the built and natural environment of a place and how should they analyse the relationship between people and urban environment? How does the study of cultural heritage contribute to our understanding of the urban past and of the present life in towns?

FREEDOM and EXPERIENCES OF SUBJUGATION
|
The course on FREEDOM and EXPERIENCES OF SUBJUGATION will will conduct a careful, critical analysis of debates about the nature of freedom (or liberty), its relation to concepts such as autonomy, rights, and democracy, and attend to the social implications of various dominant understandings of freedom in the contemporary global context. At the same time, we will examine accounts of experiences of what has been labeled "subjugated" and "oppressed" existences, both from the first- and third-person point of view. We will attend to the question of interpretation, looking closely at issues of cross-cultural communication and the dangers of cultural imperialism.

Central European University - Feminist Intersectionality and Political Discourse
|
The concept of intersectionality has been attracting growing attention in recent years for its theoretical, methodological, and practical value in understanding multiple inequalities. Increasingly, debates on intersectionality are present beyond feminist theorizing. They have emerged in critical policy studies, social movement research, analyses of political discourse and policy framing, research on institutions, and in legal research. The notion of multiple inequalities is also used, to an ever-growing extent, to inform policy and legal practice. This course aims not only to unpack pertinent theoretical and conceptual debates, but also to link theoretical thinking to doing intersectional research in an increasingly intersectionalized policy environment. The course will explore intersectionality and: comparative approaches, developing standards of measurement, understanding institutional change, and discursive shifts from a homogenous gender category to one that is embedded in a complex web of multiple inequalities.
