| SSC 202: Cultural Anthropology | ANTH 1101: Peoples and Cultures | IC | 4.00 | No | This course is intended as an introduction to basic level knowledge and practice of Social and Cultural Anthropology. Its secondary focus is to demonstrate the usefulness of anthropological insight for psychology students by exploring how cultures and societies influence an individual's reasoning and mind. For more than 150 years, Cultural Anthropology has been proving that diversity of cultures and societies is one of the main characteristics of humankind. In other words, Cultural Anthropology suggests that different cultural, social, economic, political or even material realities simultaneously reshape and are reshaped by people's lives. The course outline will reveal that Anthropology’s main scientific strength is twofold: A) systematic emphasis on relativist, reflexive and ethical attitude towards the people, cultures and societies we observe and B) its distinctive and constitutive research and representation method - ethnography based (not only) on participant observation. Besides the history, ethics and methods of Cultural Anthropology, students will be introduced to development of anthropological thinking: from evolutionism, diffusionism and cultural relativism to more recent ideas brought by reflexive, spatial or ontological turn. Various topics will be explored through discussing canonic ethnographic texts and case studies referring to: race, class, gender or kinship; migration and (trans) nationalism; space, embodiment and segregation; power, politics and ideology; materiality and more-than-human subjects; climate change, etc.. | 11,206 | Cultural Anthropology | SSC 202 | Cultural Anthropology | ANTH 1101 | Peoples and Cultures | 9 | |

| ECN 113: Macroeconomics | ECON 1115: Principles of Macroeconomics | SI, AD | 4.00 | No | The objective of the course is to apply principles of economics (the economic way of thinking, typically gained in microeconomics) to understanding the workings of the economic system in its entirety. The central macroeconomic issue is the wealth of the economy and well-being of the people in it. Besides focusing on its long-run sources and preconditions and its short-run fluctuation, several specific phenomena and concepts are tackled: unemployment, financial intermediation and money, inflation, international aspects, and government policy. The intention is to present (often unpopular) economics in an intelligible and interesting way so that its students divest themselves of the idea of the economics being necessarily a “dismal” science. Emphasis will be laid on the significance of understanding economics for explaining real-world events and on eradicating numerous myths that plague this field. In order to reach that goal, the analysis will be applied to a broad range of practical societal issues. | 11,210 | Macroeconomics | ECN 113 | Macroeconomics | ECON 1115 | Principles of Macroeconomics | 9 | |
| ECN 103: Microeconomics | ECON 1116: Principles of Microeconomics | SI, AD | 4.00 | No | The course provides an introduction to the economic way of thinking: by postulating a model of humans’ decision-making, it aspires to explain their behavior, interaction among them and social institutions that developed to both constrain and underpin them. It covers all the principal concepts (scarcity, benefits, costs, demand, supply, equilibrium price and price system and efficiency) and applies them to phenomena beyond the traditional market settings. Contrary to its “dismal” reputation, the course aspires to present economics as a valuable and necessary tool to both description of, and prescription for, the social dimension of the world around us. Regarding description, it may be curiosity indulging to know why people behave and interact the way they do and the consequences, both intended and unintended, it carries with it. But it is also a requisite step in the prescriptive endeavor: understanding how people’s behavior may be affected and how or whether it should be affected is crucial to the efforts of both private organizations (businesses and non-profits) and the public sector (government policy). The emphasis is laid on understanding rather than facts and on sparking interest rather in economics rather than maximizing the amount of it communicated within one course. The resulting economic literacy is expected to make students better decision makers in their personal life, in their jobs and in their roles as citizens and voters as well. | 11,211 | Microeconomics | ECN 103 | Microeconomics | ECON 1116 | Principles of Microeconomics | 9 | |
