Information
Aims, contents and method of the course
In this course, we will read and discuss standard literature on law, innovation, and society with a special focus on sustainability. Students will learn to identify important work on the intersection of law, innovation, and society, and to critically reflect and discuss this literature. In each session, one student will present and comment on academic work. Students may suggest an article or book of their choice, otherwise they will be guided in finding important and interesting work. Every student presents one paper or book chapter, reads all the literature we are going to discuss in class, and hands in one reflection paper.
Assessment and permitted materials
Presentation & Handout: Each student has to give one presentation on a selected text. The presentation should last 15 minutes and should cover and discuss the main aspects of your text. Additionally, you have to provide a handout for your presentation. The handout should not exceed two pages. It should assist your colleagues in following the presentation. The handout must be uploaded at least 24h prior to your presentation.Active participation: Engaging in critical discussions on different opinions is a vital skill in academia and especially important in the field of law. Being able to articulate your thoughts and engage with different arguments is therefore highly encouraged in this course. Although it might seem awkward in the beginning, we encourage you to ask at least one question per presentation. This will not only give you the opportunity to better understand the discussed texts, but also gives the presenter the possibility to engage with her audience.Reflection paper: You have to write one reflection paper (max. 800 words, approx. 2 pages) on one of the texts that will be presented in the course. You can NOT write a reflection paper on the text that you present. For details, see the reflection paper handout.
