Readings A selection of works will be distributed to the participants upon acceptance. Participants are expected to read these works before the course. Course description To operate in tandem in this context, means that our pairs of internationally acknowledged faculty and locally based scholars will look at the chosen subjects from different angles and with a variety of viewpoints. The advantage of these tandem sessions will therefore be to expose the subject to the scrutiny of more than one, to expand the spectrum. These efforts will however be headed towards the same direction of a higher level of knowledge and a better understanding of the field.
