MASTER 1 ETUDES EUROPEENNES ET INTERNATIONALES

TD

En ANGLAIS : In our readings in European integration, we shall peruse documents in English parallel to other languages related to the creation of a European polity and the reading of recent writings on European integration (such as Alan Milward, Stephen George, Wolfram Kaiser, Ulrike Guérot, etc.). Those historical documents shall illuminate the quest for a meaning to European unity and the legitimation of the European polity, while submitting the positions and interests of political, economic, social and cultural actors in all parts and parties of Europe, including those which have never had access to EU membership or have repudiated it, to critical analysis. Our own analysis shall involve critiques of substance, of implicit or explicit interests, and of argumentative style.

En ANGLAIS : Europe is the only continent where more and more countries decided to join around a common political project without becoming a federation, and without pre-defined boundaries. It is a unique territorial building because of this evolution leading to the European Union, and its diversity. The course wishes to provide a geographical knowledge of Europe, especially the European Union. It begins with a geohistorical approach about the formation of the European territory, and a geopolitical approach, about its relationships with the neighbouring countries. Some transversal topics about the geography of the European Union such as demography, urbanization, the cohesion policy, agriculture, environment policy will be addressed. Some regional or national case studies will be also studied.

TD

En ANGLAIS : We will study the long history of Europe (15th - 21st century) by exploring some central themes in the social, political and cultural definitions of the European geographical space.

TD

En ANGLAIS : In close relation with the Scientific Writing course, as well as with the Master's Thesis to be defended in Year 2, the course aims at providing methodological tools to carry out an academic research, by properly identifying, managing and using resources. Key aspects will be addressed in this purpose, such as composing bibliographies with regard to problematisation, detail plan, critical thinking; strategic watch, databases, physical and online search and appropriate quotation.

TD

En ANGLAIS : Managing a European project in Social Sciences and Humanities, whether individual or collaborative, accounts for a regular activity in cultural institutions dealing with national and international cooperation. This is not only a matter of money, time, concepts; this is also about team work, strategy, risks, decision making, in-depth analysis and understanding of the situations. In that sense, developing skills in European Project Management can be crucial in a professional activity.

TD

En ANGLAIS : The aims of the course are to: 1)understand the psychological issues related to a professional or study situation abroad as well as in multicultural teams; 2) introduce students to the understanding of the main forms of international mobility which can involve individuals with a specific focus on global work experiences; 3) identify the practices and tools which can be proposed and adopted to accompany and support individuals to manage intercultural challenges; 4) encourage reflections on the impact of international mobility and intercultural exchanges on individuals and groups (e.g. in terms of intercultural skills, openness, career, etc.); 5) stimulate reflections on international mobility from a gender perspective by introducing the notion of the glass border

TD

En ANGLAIS : The aim of this teaching unit is to give students a first knowledge base in the statistical analysis of human productions in social sciences. After a first introductory session in semester 1 (session 0: presentation of the course and of the projects to be carried out on the basis of the Master's thesis), this teaching will be divided into two parts: firstly, five lectures in which descriptive statistics and statistical tests of correlation, elements of data analysis as well as textual analysis will be successively tackled; secondly, the carrying out of a semester project in which the students will apply the elements seen in the lectures and in the workshops to the analysis of their Master's thesis subject.
