Examination topics
The theoretical part of this course will consist of the exploration and discussion of relevant globalization theories, as well as basic principles of complexity theories (during the first phase of the course). In a second phase, students will work on an empirical case study which they will discuss in the larger context of globalization and complexity theories. Instead of one larger presentation, students will give short reports on the progress of their work on a continuous basis, in order to provide for an interactive research process. Each students's work on his or her case study will culminate in a short seminar paper handed in at the end of the semester. Methodologically, we will work with different approaches situated in the fields of systems analysis, network analysis,and discourse analysis. A reader containing all texts for the first phase of course will be provided by the lecturer at the beginning of the semester. The acquisition of research material necessary for the analysis of his or her case study will lie in the individual responsibility of each student.The final grade will comprise of the following parameters: Participation in the discussion of basic texts during the first phase of the course
(25%); documentation of ongoing work on the case study (short oral and written reports) (50%); quality of final seminar paper (25%). Continuous presence in class in the course of the entire semester is obligatory for a passing grade.

We will explore
In what ways theories of globalization can be applied to the field of genetic and genomic research and applications;
In what ways, and to which extent, regional and global practices and knowledges interact with one another;
Why globalization is more prevalent in some fields of genetics and genomics than in others, and which patterns and models of 'global genomic governance' we can discern.
