| 1 | School of Finance财政金融学院 | FD2501 | Hedge Fund and Its Strategies对冲基金及其策略研究 | 2 | 32 | LIU Zhenya | Renmin University of China | The course will introduce the main trading strategies used by hedge funds and provides a methodology to analyze them. In this course, the trading strategies are illustrated using real data and students learn to use ""back-testing"" to evaluate a strategy. The course also discusses how trading works, performance measurement, transaction costs and liquidity risk, optimal trading, margin requirements, risk management, and portfolio construction. Through a systematic treatment of these issues as well as a selection of case studies, this course aims at cultivating and enhancing the participants’ skills of theorization and making them better prepared for further working in the hedge fund or asset management companies. | 2025-06-30 14:00-17:30, 2025-07-02 14:00-17:30, 2025-07-04 14:00-17:30, 2025-07-07 14:00-17:30, 2025-07-09 14:00-17:30, 2025-07-11 14:00-17:30, 2025-07-14 14:00-17:30, 2025-07-16 14:00-17:30 |
| 2 | School of Finance财政金融学院 | FD2505 | Experimental Economics实验经济学 | 2 | 32 | Jingnan Chen | University of Exeter, United Kingdom | This module offers an introduction to Experimental Economics and how it can be applied to the understanding of individual decision making and micro economic related issues. This module explains how to design and run economic experiments and how to analyze the collected data in order to evaluate and validate the associated behavioral hypothesis. Policy or managerial implication will also be considered. This module offers students the opportunity to develop their research skills, and to apply micro economic analysis and state of the art experimental tools (e.g., oTree) to up-to-date real world issues. In particular, the module aims to introduce students to issues and principles of experimental design, conduct and analysis across the areas which have been the main subject matter of experimental economics - markets, public goods, game theory and individual decision making. It will encourage students to consider the scope and limitations of 'laboratory' experiments in economics and to compare this research tool with others such as surveys and field experiments. | 2025-06-30 14:00-17:30, 2025-07-02 14:00-17:30, 2025-07-04 14:00-17:30, 2025-07-07 14:00-17:30, 2025-07-09 14:00-17:30, 2025-07-11 14:00-17:30, 2025-07-14 14:00-17:30, 2025-07-16 14:00-17:30 |
| 3 | School of Law 法学院 | FD2503 | Intellectual Property Laws and Regimes in Major Asian Economies亚洲主要经济体的知识产权法制 | 2 | 32 | LIU Kung-Chung | Renmin University of China | The economic significance of major Asian economies is overwhelming, and so are their intellectual property (IP) industries. However, insufficient attention has been paid to Asian IP laws and their relationship with intellectual assets. The course sets to take a pan-Asia and integrated approach to explore “Why Asian IP laws and assets?”, “What are the features of Asian IP laws and assets?”, and “How can Asian IP laws/industries benefit the rest of the world?” and “How can major Asian economies become IP norm-setters, rather than norm-takers”? This course will discover features of three basic intellectual laws, copyright, patent and trademark, in major Asian economies, including China, India, Japan, Korea, Singapore and Taiwan, and to a lesser degree HK, Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, and Thailand. It will also deal with the protection and over-protection of trade secrets in those economies.It will zoom in on China’s IP law development and compare it with Indian regimes, to better position China in the global IP landscape. |

| 4 | School of Law 法学院 | FD2502 | Copyright Law in Creative Economy创意经济中的著作权法 | 2 | 32 | JIN Haijun | Renmin University of China | Copyright protects creative works and plays important role in creative economy. Today, with the development of digital technology and internet, there are much more challenges in the field of creative industries, as well as the opportunities. The study of these issues can help to understand the relationship between copyright and creative economy, such as how to make a legal framework for promoting creative works and innovative models, and how to keep a balance between the incentive for author and the access of work for the public. This course will analysis the cases and statutory rules in particular categories including news, media, music, film and sports, for purpose of understanding the current developments in China and other jurisdictions and increasing the ability to solve these problems. | 2025-06-30 8:00-11:30, 2025-07-02 8:00-11:30, 2025-07-04 8:00-11:30, 2025-07-07 8:00-11:30, 2025-07-09 8:00-11:30, 2025-07-11 8:00-11:30, 2025-07-14 8:00-11:30, 2025-07-16 8:00-11:30 |

| 7 | School of Pubilc Administration and Policy公共管理学院 | IG2502 | Managing Human Resources Globally全球化人力资源管理 | 2 | 32 | XIU Lin | University of Minnesota | This course is about managing human resources globally. Students are expected to participate in research and case discussions on human resource management in the international environment. International Human Resource Management (IHRM) is an important topic because the conduct of organizations is increasingly international in scope and managing human resources (e.g. staffing, training, managing and rewarding performance, etc.) is critical to the successful conduct of global organizations. The majority of the course discusses the IHRM issues faced by international organizations including government, non-profit organizations, and businesses. Through a systematic learning of these issues, this course also aims to strengthen participants’ skills to prepare for a ‘real’ world. These skills include communication (i.e., creating a persuasive PowerPoint presentation), teamwork (i.e. working on a project with your team members), and advancing viewpoints persuasively (i.e., participating in class). A third objective of this course goes beyond the classroom. Through case studies and problem-solving exercises, participants will be better prepared to identify critical problems, evaluate various courses of action (and their repercussions), and defend their own decisions. | 2025-06-30 14:00-17:30, 2025-07-02 14:00-17:30, 2025-07-04 14:00-17:30, 2025-07-07 14:00-17:30, 2025-07-09 14:00-17:30, 2025-07-11 14:00-17:30, 2025-07-14 14:00-17:30, 2025-07-16 14:00-17:30 |
| 8 | School of Pubilc Administration and Policy公共管理学院 | FD2511 | Development Concepts and Policies发展的概念与政策 | 2 | 32 | Otton Solis | IE University, Spain | The course will survey the fields of economic growth theory, development and some key controversies regarding development concepts and policies. The objective of the course is to familiarize students with the concept of development, the incidence of underdevelopment, the relationship between development and economic growth, some major theoretical controversies, and specific policy issues. Students will become acquainted with the historical evolutions of development rankings, the concept of globalization, the Washington Consensus and its impact on development policies. They will also get familiarized with the model implemented in the Asian successful cases and with the evolution of China from a Public Sector owned and managed economy to the gradual role given to market forces and the private sector. At the end of the course students will be able to identify the contribution of economic growth theory to development policies, examine those contributions within the context of actual agenda setting, and make inroads into the challenge of incorporating institutional and ethical considerations into the design and implementation of development policies. | 2025-07-01 8:00-11:30, 2025-07-03 8:00-11:30, 2025-07-05 8:00-11:30, 2025-07-08 8:00-11:30, 2025-07-10 8:00-11:30, 2025-07-12 8:00-11:30, 2025-07-15 8:00-11:30, 2025-07-17 8:00-11:30 |

| 14 | School of International Studies国际关系学院 | IG2503 | The International Political Economy of Development国际政治经济及其发展 | 2 | 32 | Carol Wise | University of Southern California, Los Angeles, USA | This course analyzes the scholarship on international political economy (IPE) in a developing country context. We will begin the course with an analysis of China’s global rise and examine how the development literature has responded to this phenomenon. From here, we will focus on the conceptual and practical material related to development and the IPE. Taking the international setting as a constant, the course will probe the following questions: what accounts for the varying choice of development strategies between states over time? Can empirical links be drawn between the pursuit of a given strategy and the highly differential political economic performance between states in the IPE? What light do longstanding conceptual debates shed on the nature of a given country's development strategy? Following our overview of current debates about development patterns within the global economy, we will briefly explore the intellectual history of IPE. We will then study such approaches as modern and neoclassical political economic analysis, sectoral arguments, and institutional-statist paradigms; the remainder of the course will be spent analyzing actual development paths, with particular attention paid to the explanatory frameworks advanced and the comparative outcomes witnessed between the “early” industrializers and those states that came much later to this game. Throughout the course, an overriding goal will be to inform our discussion through the integration of conceptual thinking about development with empirical analysis of the various international political and economic development trajectories that have emerged over time. |

| 15 | School of International Studies国际关系学院 | IG2505 | Introduction to Comparative Politics比较政治学概论 | 2 | 32 | Leslie Holmes | University of Melbourne | This subject introduces students to comparative politics. There are many approaches to this subject, but most analysts agree that it involves comparing at least two - and often more - units of political analysis (e.g. states, types of political system, areas of policy). It can also be interpreted as comparing individual countries with ideal-types of system; this is the principal method used in this course. The primary units for comparison in this subject are types of political system (e.g. authoritarianism, hybrid, presidential and parliamentary democracy) and actual states – including the USA; Russia; France; Iran. At appropriate points, comparisons will be made with China. A major theme will be the extent to which political culture (which will be defined) appears to explain differences between political systems. The subject ranges across various types of system around the world and represents a useful way of learning the salient features of the political systems of a number of significant but very different countries. The course will be taught using PowerPoint presentations, which will be made available to students following each class. Furthermore, a list of key terms will be given to students before each class, so that they can check definitions before the lecture. |

| 16 | School of International Studies国际关系学院 | IG2504 | Great Powers, World Economy and Global Governance大国、世界经济与全球治理 | 2 | 32 | Henk Overbeek | Vrije University Amsterdam | Our world is characterized by more and more intense conflicts between the great powers, USA, EU and China in particular. These conflicts are caused by a variety of causes (historical, geopolitical, economic, ideological). The focus in this course will be on the economic and technological rivalry between the great powers. We will pay close attention to the impact of the ongoing wars in Ukraine and in the Middle East, and of the second Trump Presidency in the USA, on the geo-economic and geo-political relations between the major powers. During the course students will learn to understand contemporary great power rivalries against the background of the historical evolution of the global economy. We will focus on the social and political dynamics of production, trade and finance, and we will also discuss the prospects for peaceful resolution of these conflicts through innovative forms of global governance. | 2025-07-02 8:00-11:30, 2025-07-04 8:00-11:30, 2025-07-07 8:00-11:30, 2025-07-09 8:00-11:30, 2025-07-11 8:00-11:30, 2025-07-14 8:00-11:30, 2025-07-16 8:00-11:30, 2025-07-18 8:00-11:30 |
| 17 | School of International Studies国际关系学院 | IG2512 | International Relations in Movies电影中的国际关系 | 2 | 32 | JIN Xi | Renmin University of China | This course is a film-based course that covers the basic topics appropriate for an introduction to international relations (IR). It targets undergraduate students with a variety of academic backgrounds and will be taught exclusively in English. The events in today’s world demonstrate more than ever the need to have a knowledge of certain IR fundamentals. Cinema, as one of the most influential art forms in the history of mankind, has tackled various aspects of international politics, and can provide access to the study of world politics in a simpler and more entertaining fashion. This course seeks to use popular movies - instead of merely relying on textbooks and lectures - as a medium, to cultivate an active learning environment, in which students can be acquainted with the core concepts, issues and theories of the IR discipline. Not only does it hope to reach out to students unfamiliar with the field, but also to prepare IR students for advanced topics in their future studies. | 2025-06-30 14:00-17:30, 2025-07-02 14:00-17:30, 2025-07-04 14:00-17:30, 2025-07-07 14:00-17:30, 2025-07-09 14:00-17:30, 2025-07-11 14:00-17:30, 2025-07-14 14:00-17:30, 2025-07-16 14:00-17:30 |

The last five sessions will focus on the twentieth century: Sun Yatsen, the 1911 revolution interactions, and the fight for treaty port rights issues in 1920s; Chiang Kaishek and the U.S.-China wartime alliance including early contacts with the Chinese Communist Party; PRC relations between Washington and Beijing under Mao; and finally, Nixon/Zhou Enlai breakthrough and post Mao China relations with U.S. The professor has a number of historical documentaries DVDs that he will be showing. Other visual material from the internet may also be used. | 2025-06-30 14:00-17:30, 2025-07-02 14:00-17:30, 2025-07-04 14:00-17:30, 2025-07-07 14:00-17:30, 2025-07-09 14:00-17:30, 2025-07-11 14:00-17:30, 2025-07-14 14:00-17:30, 2025-07-16 14:00-17:30 |
| 19 | School of International Studies国际关系学院 | IG2506 | Appraising the Relations Between China, the United States and the European Union:Implications, Options and Opportunities中国、美国与欧洲之间的关系--影响、抉择和机遇 | 2 | 32 | Reinhard C. Heinisch |
University of Salzburg, Austria |
The aim of the course is to assess the relationship between the three most influential economic and political powers in the world - the United States, China and the European Union. Over the past two decades, these powers have undergone significant internal changes amidst a dynamic international economic and political environment. On the one hand, the United States and Europe remain dependent on Chinese investment; on the other, they are wrestling with the extent to which they should view Beijing as a strategic geopolitical rival to be kept in check. Meanwhile, the US and Europe themselves are drifting apart politically and temperamentally, with the latter in particular fearing to miss out on the rise of East Asia. Weakened by ongoing financial problems, armed conflicts in areas of national importance and significant internal divisions, both Washington and Brussels are reassessing their global roles and offering Beijing new political opportunities to increase its international influence.

| 20 | School of International Studies国际关系学院 | IG2510 | South Asian Society and Politics南亚社会与政治 | 2 | 32 | Uddhab Prasad Pyakurel | Kathmandu University | The term “South Asia” is used when scholars or officials seek to differentiate this region from East Asia. But there are countries like China and Myanmar which share their territories not only to East Asia but also to South Asia to some extent. This course outlines the boarder term “South Asia” going beyond South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation (SAARC) and discusses socio-political history of South Asia. While doing so, it will bring some of the historical facts related to strong interaction between people from today’s Nepal, India, Bhutan, Pakistan and Bangladesh and China. Since those relations were due to cultural similarities and trade proximities between the communities, it provides knowledge for young generation students to have a better understanding about SAARC countries linking the shared socio-cultural history so that they build confidence to deal with “South Asia Studies.” | 2025-06-30 8:00-11:30, 2025-07-02 8:00-11:30, 2025-07-04 8:00-11:30, 2025-07-07 8:00-11:30, 2025-07-09 8:00-11:30, 2025-07-11 8:00-11:30, 2025-07-14 8:00-11:30, 2025-07-16 8:00-11:30 |
| 21 | School of International Studies国际关系学院 | IG2507 | Grand Strategy in a Multipolar World and the Role of the European Union多极世界中的大战略与欧盟的作用 | 2 | 32 | Sven Biscop | Egmont-Royal Institute of International Relations | We are living in a multipolar world. There are several great powers, i.e. states (or unions of states) whose decisions have global impact, but none of them has sufficient power to dominate world politics by itself. Those great powers cooperate, but they are competing with each other at the same time: for influence, resources, partners and prestige. This interaction determines world politics. This is about war or peace. In this context, understanding the Grand Strategies of the great powers is crucial: what are their objectives, which instruments are they deploying to pursue them, what is their resource base, who are their partners? Strategic thinking in general is essential in order to produce quality decision-making. This course starts looks at the concept of Grand Strategy by way of 10 characteristics and, at the same time, analyses the Grand Strategies of the US, China, Russia, and the EU. Each of the 10 characteristics is illustrated, moreover, with historical examples, and the strategic history of the current great powers is outlined. | 2025-07-07 8:00-11:30, 2025-07-08 8:00-11:30, 2025-07-09 8:00-11:30, 2025-07-10 8:00-11:30, 2025-07-14 8:00-11:30, 2025-07-15 8:00-11:30, 2025-07-16 8:00-11:30, 2025-07-17 8:00-11:30 |
| 22 | School of International Studies国际关系学院 | IG2508 | The Russian Economy and Its Interaction with the World Economy俄罗斯经济及其与世界经济的互动 | 2 | 32 | Shinichiro Tabata | Hokkaido University | This course consists of eight lectures on the Russian economy and its interaction with the world economy. The lectures will primarily focus on the Russian economy (including the Soviet economy) but will be characterized by discussing the Russian economy in its interaction with the world economy. The lecturer posits that, despite the perception of the Russian economy as being “closed,” and the historical precedent of Russia’s pursuit of self-sufficiency, including in the present era, the Russian economy has, in fact, evolved in a manner that is closely intertwined with the global economy and the economies of other countries. For the most part, the Russian economy has exported its abundant resources and imported industrial and agricultural products that it could not produce domestically. Russia has benefitted greatly from this. Some observers believe that Soviet socialism would have collapsed in the 1970s had Russia not had vast oil resources and had oil prices not skyrocketed during the oil shocks. On the contrary, Russia has suffered from Dutch Disease: i.e., Russia’s manufacturing industries did not develop because of excessive dependence on oil and gas exports. This lecture will elucidate the intricate relationship between Russia and the world economy in greater detail. | 2025-07-02 14:00-17:30, 2025-07-04 14:00-17:30, 2025-07-07 14:00-17:30, 2025-07-09 14:00-17:30, 2025-07-11 14:00-17:30, 2025-07-14 14:00-17:30, 2025-07-16 14:00-17:30, 2025-07-18 14:00-17:30 |

| 38 | School of Economics经济学院 | FD2515 | Why Nations Succeed: Frontiers in Development Economics国家为什么会成功：发展经济学前沿专题 | 2 | 32 | Wang Xiaobing | The University of Manchester | This course provides a theoretical framework that emphasizes state capacity and government capacity in a market economy in an attempt to address the development problems in developing countries. It proposes a new paradigm for economic development. The following issues are discussed in-depth: 1) The essence of modern economic growth is the continuous innovation in technology and industrial upgrading, the continuous improvement of labor productivity, as well as the continuous improvement of hard infrastructure and soft institutional arrangements to reduce transaction costs, and enables economic transformation. 2) Provides a solid theoretical basis for the concept of ""national competitiveness"". The focus of national competitiveness theory is on how to improve the productivity and living standards of a country, while the theory of comparative advantage of trade is mainly about how to explain trade. 3) From the origin of the state, we discuss the government's five basic functions in economic development. 4) Good mechanism design is the basic guarantee of an efficient market economy system. The theory of mechanism design provides us with a solid theoretical basis in how the government carries out better system design. 5) The state is the key to curbing rent-seeking behavior and encouraging constructive entrepreneurship. Government and government officials with entrepreneurial spirit are the main driving force of economic development and effective institutional change. 6) Why the state can promote economic growth. Why the state is the driving force for institutional change. | 2025-06-30 8:00-11:30, 2025-07-02 8:00-11:30, 2025-07-04 8:00-11:30, 2025-07-07 8:00-11:30, 2025-07-09 8:00-11:30, 2025-07-11 8:00-11:30, 2025-07-14 8:00-11:30, 2025-07-16 8:00-11:30 |

B.C.), and its most eloquent Roman advocate, Lucretius (1st cent. B.C.). Central to the course is a detailed examination of Epicurean philosophy, including its ethics, physics, and epistemology. Students will analyze Epicurus’ views on the nature of pleasure, the absence of pain, and mental tranquility (ataraxia) as the ultimate goals of life, as well as his materialist worldview, which posits that all things are composed of atoms moving through the void. These ideas will be brought to life through Lucretius’ De Rerum Natura (On the Nature of Things), a poetic masterpiece that vividly illustrates Epicurean philosophy and its relevance to Roman society. The course will explore Lucretius’ contributions to Epicureanism, particularly his creative use of poetic language to communicate complex ideas about nature, mortality, and the rejection of superstition. Additionally, students will critically assess the reception and legacy of Epicureanism and Lucretius’ work in both antiquity and modernity. By engaging with primary texts and secondary scholarship, the course aims to deepen students’ understanding of the philosophical and cultural significance of Epicureanism and its enduring influence. | 2025-07-02 14:00-17:30, 2025-07-04 14:00-17:30, 2025-07-07 14:00-17:30, 2025-07-09 14:00-17:30, 2025-07-11 14:00-17:30, 2025-07-14 14:00-17:30, 2025-07-16 14:00-17:30, 2025-07-18 14:00-17:30 |

These three key-concepts also play a crucial role in the Eonomic-Philosophical Manuscripts of 1843-44 by the young Marx. Thus, the course enables us to comprehend the methodological unity between the young and late Marx. (2)The course focuses on Marx's concept of productive forces of capital (Productionskrafte des Kapitals), by which Marx understands the coalescence of production relations with productive forces as a result of reification-thingification which characterizes the capitalist mode of production, in which sciences are modified as reified-thingified capital, integrated into indispensable elements of productive forces of capital. (3)The third subject of the course focuses on the transformation of Marx's idea of the historical developments of the human being from the young Marx to the late Marx. The late Marx recognizes the small-scale peasantry common to all premdern societies as a positive driving force of the human history, which is crucial for Marx to overcome his former eurocentric idea of human history. |

Human society is placed in environments, and people everywhere depend on environments for survival, economic growth, and physical, emotional and spiritual wellbeing. In recent decades, global demands on the world’s natural environments; its natural resources, habitats, biodiversity, environmental services have increased beyond what these environments can provide. This has been recognized since the late second half of the 20th century and global action has emerged to balance demands on natural habitats and resources and withdrawal that does not exceed sustainable provision. A new paradigm that has emerged over the last decade of a green economy, which promotes economic development that does not exceed environmental sustainability and brings material improvements to all. The green economy paradigm considers the value of forests to deliver benefit streams to human society. Forests provide timber, other forest products, regulation of climate and water flows, carbon capturing and storage, repository of biodiversity, spaces of leisure and spiritual wellbeing. Forest sciences, and especially academic specializations of forest policy and governance explore forests benefits to human society and how human society attempts to regulate and sustain forest these forest benefits, linking them directly to the green economy paradigm. The forest sciences themselves are diverse and cover a broad spectrum. This course will pursue a forest governance, forest policy focus that links forests and forestry to major global environmental challenges. |

Schmidt | National University of Singapore | Over the course of the past two centuries, the world has gone through what appears to be most fundamental transformation in the history of humankind. This course will look at some of the most far-reaching of these transformations: in living-conditions. A world of poverty has morphed into a world of affluence, even if its wealth is very unevenly distributed among individuals and world regions. Belief systems have changes, the way me make sense of ourselves has changes, today’s living arrangements bear little resemblance to what they were for millennia, economic and political have shifted between world regions and are now shifting again, politics is very differently organized today than in the past, social change also has unintended environmental consequences that pose new challenges, and our technologies contribute to accelerating change ever more, sometimes in ways that can be quite overwhelming and to which we may not always have fitting answers right away. The course deals with several such transformation and gauges them from a global perspective. | 2025-06-30 14:00-17:30, 2025-07-02 14:00-17:30, 2025-07-04 14:00-17:30, 2025-07-07 14:00-17:30, 2025-07-09 14:00-17:30, 2025-07-11 14:00-17:30, 2025-07-14 14:00-17:30, 2025-07-16 14:00-17:30 |

| 72 | School of Statistics统计学院 | FD2545 | The Economic System of the Real World in the View of Statistics统计学视角下的自然世界经济体系 | 2 | 32 | Helmut MAIER | Berlin School of Economics and Law | The course deals with the question whether there is an economic and financial system within the real world (defined as the natural world with all species including man). Using German philosopher Hegel’s approach (which reflects elements of Chinese Daoism), observations, statistical and economic tools, and natural laws, it uncovers its basic features (products, markets, means of payment, banking characteristics, etc.) thus confirms its existence. In doing so it extends economics to the whole ecosystem of earth including all species. Moreover, it shows its impact on Official Statistics especially Leontief’s input-output table including human material and biological production. Reflecting fundamental problems and phenomena of mankind in present (development of world population, aging, migrations, demographic change, poverty, financial crises, environmental issues, change of climate, pandemics) within this system, it uncovers different reasons and hence different responses of human society to enable a sustainable development in future as known up to now. Statistical result is a “System of National Account 5.0” including both material and social depreciations, and material and social future investments of domestic population, in order to harmonize the different measures of “wealth” and “poverty” in human society and the real world, and to monitor both economic and social development. | 2025-07-01 8:00-11:30, 2025-07-03 8:00-11:30, 2025-07-05 8:00-11:30, 2025-07-08 8:00-11:30, 2025-07-10 8:00-11:30, 2025-07-12 8:00-11:30, 2025-07-15 8:00-11:30, 2025-07-17 8:00-11:30 |

| 80 | School of Liberal Arts文学院 | CC2505 | Chinese and Japanese Christian Literature中国与日本的基督教文学 | 2 | 32 | Chloë Starr | Yale University | This course traces the (sometimes fleeting) development of a Christian literature in China and Japan from late Imperial times to the end of the twentieth century, with particular focus on the heyday (in China) of the 1920s and 30s, and on the Japanese side, on Endo Shusaku’s post-war novels. Using texts in Chinese and in English translation, we examine how Christian ideas and metaphors have permeated the literary—and revolutionary—imagination in East Asia. The influence of Christianity on literature came directly through the bible and church education, and indirectly through translated European and western literature. We test the assertion that the church and Christian life were part of social reality for early twentieth century Chinese intellectuals, and explore the aesthetic visions and construction of the human being that developed out of this social scene. | 2025-06-30 8:00-11:30, 2025-07-02 8:00-11:30, 2025-07-04 8:00-11:30, 2025-07-07 8:00-11:30, 2025-07-09 8:00-11:30, 2025-07-11 8:00-11:30, 2025-07-14 8:00-11:30, 2025-07-16 8:00-11:30 |

| 82 | School of Liberal Arts文学院 | CC2506 | The Logic of Dreams梦的逻辑 | 2 | 32 | Idit Alphandary | Tel Aviv University | One third of your life is spent asleep, and the life of sleep is dreams. And yet the images, sounds, and language of waking life almost totally dominates discussions of human goals, motivations, and meaningfulness. The last century began with a different dream: that dreams, rightly understood, would give us an unprecedented view of the hidden objectives of human behavior. “The interpretation of dreams is the royal road to a knowledge of the unconscious activities of the mind,” Freud wrote in 1900. This course will be a discussion about dreams and an inquiry into what they may still mean, more than one hundred years later. We will take our departure from a careful reading of Freud’s 1899 Interpretation of Dreams, which makes huge claims for the importance and meaning of dreams and proposes methods for their interpretation. Critiques and extensions of Freud’s theory will point up its strengths and limitations. Throughout the course we will read literature and watch films in which dreams play a central role. Students are expected to keep a dream journal to record and analyze their own dreams. The course thus focuses on a number of representative case studies and landmark collaborations or interactions between psychoanalysis, literature, and filmmakers (Freud, Lacan, Christopher Bollas, Kafka, Benjamin and surrealism, Hitchcock and Freud, Richard Linklater and existentialism, Stanley Cavell and the everyday, Zizek, Michel Gondry, Alain Resnais, Breton, and Borges). | 2025-07-01 8:00-11:30, 2025-07-03 8:00-11:30, 2025-07-05 8:00-11:30, 2025-07-08 8:00-11:30, 2025-07-10 8:00-11:30, 2025-07-12 8:00-11:30, 2025-07-15 8:00-11:30, 2025-07-17 8:00-11:30 |
| 83 | School of Physics物理学院 | FD2550 | Fundamentals and progresses in quantum technology量子技术的基本原理和进展 | 2 | 32 | Ilya Semerikov | Lebedev physical institute of Russian academy of science | Over the past 20 years, the world has been experiencing a second quantum revolution—focused on developing devices that harness control over the quantum states of individual quantum systems. This shift to manipulating single quantum systems promises substantial gains in the sensitivity of various sensors (quantum sensing), opens up new approaches to computing through superposition and entanglement (quantum computing), and enables communication that is protected by the very laws of physics (quantum communication). In the future, quantum technologies may also allow for lithography with nanometer resolution. A wide range of physical systems is already being used to realize these advantages. This course will provide an overview of experimental approaches to modern quantum technologies. It consists of three parts: Experimental implementations of quantum computing. Experimental implementations of various quantum sensors. Techniques for working in a modern optical laboratory. The course is designed for students interested in the experimental realization of quantum technologies. |

| 91 | School of Applied Economics应用经济学院 | FD2560 | Introduction to Growth Theory And Methodology增长理论与方法导论 | 2 | 32 | Zhang Zhongwen,Harry Xiaoying Wu | Renmin University of China,Peking University | Fundamental economic problems, from observation of economic phenomena in time and space, test of theories, to assessment of economic policies, cannot be properly dealt with in the absence of appropriate measurement. However, students, as well as economists and policy makers, can be misled by measurement without theory (mismeasurement) or lack of consistency between theory, methodology, measurement, and data. In the conceptual framework of the neoclassical growth economics, extended to account for the industry origins of the aggregate economy via its input-output networks, this summer course provides students with systematic though short-cut training to understand the fundamental growth-productivity theory and how to solve the key measurement problems with the theory, specifically primary inputs and their outputs that are coherently linked in the system of national accounts. Using the China case, this short course also introduces students on how to follow the principle of theory-methodology-measurement consistency in handling real data problems, which prepares students for advanced study on this subject in future, especially with strong interests in studying problems of China’s economic growth. |

| 97 | School of Philosophy哲学院 | CC2507 | Good and Evil in Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings《哈利波特》与《指环王》中的善与恶 | 2 | 32 | Nicholas Adams | University of Birmingham (UK) | This is a course for students who wish to investigate the themes of good and evil in the Western philosophical tradition and how they appear in the recent English book series Lord of the Rings by J.R.R. Tolkien and Harry Potter by J.K. Rowling. We read classic texts by three major figures from Augustine (4th Century CE), Immanuel Kant (Eighteenth Century) to Hannah Arendt (Twentieth Century), studying their ideas about good and evil, and their understandings of the kind of world we live in. We then host a conversation between these philosophical texts and the English novels, looking at the ways in which themes travel between genres. These themes include the goodness of the world, nothingness, radical evil, and the ordinariness of evil. Looking at characters like Dumbledore, Snape, Malfoy, or Gandalf, Saruman, Gollum, we explore the ways in which good and evil appear at key narrative events. And we use the philosophers to provide tools to illuminate things we might not normally pay attention to, especially transformations of character, shifts in perspective, and revelations which change everything. | 2025-06-30 8:00-11:30, 2025-07-02 8:00-11:30, 2025-07-04 8:00-11:30, 2025-07-07 8:00-11:30, 2025-07-09 8:00-11:30, 2025-07-11 8:00-11:30, 2025-07-14 8:00-11:30, 2025-07-16 8:00-11:30 |
