Omschrijving |
The aim of this module is give students the opportunity to apply normative and social scientific methods and theories to concrete policy issues, deepening their understanding of relevant policy tools, and to design models of particular issues. Students will collect, combine and analyze background information, and retrieve and interpret relevant research that they have encountered in the other modules as well as new work. This module is highly practice oriented, and stimulates students to think about the grand challenges confronting society, with careful attention to the concrete and varying legal environments in which policy makers operate. Topics discussed are closely related to research conducted by Groningen faculty, and vary. In the past, they have included health care, (in)equality, artificial intelligence, sustainability, responsible finance, climate change, and the natural environment. |
