The seminar presentations
The participants will make a resume of one of the texts on the list below – for oral
presentation. The presentation should be no longer than 10 minutes. Assignments will be
distributed on the first day of the course.
The presentations are discussed in class. If there are more participants than available texts,
some participants will be assigned the task of being opponents/first respondents to the
presentations. A resume should be structured as follows:
1) Start out by presenting the key point or perspective of the article or book you have been
reading.
2) Then give an overview of the key arguments leading up to this point or perspective.
