Introduction

This course is organized as a series of lectures and seminars where students present and discuss core concepts and topics in the literature. Guest lectures will be held on chosen topics. There will be visits to, for example, public institutions, non-governmental organizations (NGOs), and rehabilitation centres. Each student works on a project assignment on a topic from the curriculum, and will have their work peer reviewed by two fellow students.
