This 60-minute course provides a concise overview of the Ukrainian conflicts since 2014, exploring their complex recent history and deep-seated roots. We will begin by examining the immediate catalysts: the Euromaidan Revolution, Russia's annexation of Crimea, and the initial outbreak of conflict in the Donbas. The course will delve into the intertwined political, historical, and geopolitical factors that underpin the ongoing hostilities, including Ukraine's pursuit of closer ties with the European Union and NATO, Russia's security concerns and imperial ambitions, and the historical narratives shaping national identities. We will trace the evolution of the conflict from the initial phase in Donbas to the full-scale invasion in 2022, analyzing key events, international responses, and the devastating humanitarian consequences.

French Political Institutions, a 2x60 minutes overview of the 5th Republic dynamics

25.88 £ /h

This concise 60-minute course offers a rapid yet comprehensive exploration of France's political landscape. Delve into the unique architecture of the Fifth Republic, examining the interplay between its key institutions: the Presidency, Parliament, and Constitutional Council. We will uncover the nuances of its semi-presidential system, analyzing how executive power is wielded and constrained. The course will also touch upon the evolution of the French party system and the challenges it faces today, from cohabitation to the rise of new political forces. By the end of this session, participants will have a clear understanding of the fundamental principles and dynamic forces shaping French politics.

The role of the Financial crisis in the wake of 1789: the political role of the public debt

42.84 £ /h

This 60-minute course examines the pivotal role of France's crippling public debt in the lead-up to the 1789 Revolution. We will explore how decades of costly wars left the monarchy fiscally insolvent. The course will reveal how the Crown's attempts to reform the tax system—and extend taxation to the privileged nobility and clergy—sparked a political showdown. We will analyze how the aristocracy’s refusal to sacrifice its fiscal exemptions created a constitutional deadlock, forcing the king to convene the Estates-General for the first time in over 150 years. Ultimately, this course demonstrates that the financial crisis was not merely an economic problem, but a deeply political one that catalyzed the collapse of the Ancien Régime.

The course will introduce students to the Bible and the two religions it founded, Judaism and Christianity.: presentation of the Torah and “the” Christian Bible (historical, philological, linguistic, literary, and theological approaches); of Judaism and Christianity, and of what is known as the “separation of ways"; of Christian theology through a selection of works and Latin texts from late antiquity and the Middle Ages, from the Passion of Perpetua and Felicity to Nicholas of Cusa. The relationship between the two religions will be studied with particular attention: it is necessary to honor the Jewish roots of Christianity and the chronological and ontological priority of Judaism.
