| autumn/winter semester 2024/25 | | Erasmus University Rotterdam | Erasmus School of Social and Behavioural Sciences | MA/MSc | From 4 September to 6 October 2024 - Mondays, 11:00 to 12:45 | | 02/09/2024 | dr. DAJA Derks - Theunissen | ontent Digital media affects many tasks in organizational life. The communication with both clients and colleagues is dominated by e-mail communication either handled from a personal computer or on the move by using mobile devices. This not only affects the work domain, but also the home domain since many employees stay connected (24/7 availability) to their work even during leisure time. Virtual teams support international collaborations with the direct consequence that expert input in projects has become time and place independent. The globalization has encouraged this development, in that new media have made the access to talent and knowledge more attainable and financially affordable. This also demands for new leadership styles that are adapted to the increased physical distance and mediated communication between leader and followers. Finally, when an employee decides it is time to make a next move on the labor market the chances that a webcam test is part of the selection procedure is significant. Companies try to make their selections methods more objective by using serious games as a selection tool as well. Online assessments have become part of the selection procedure and the chances that you really make a first impression during your job interview have decreased dramatically. In other words, the impact of digital media on organizational life is evident and goes beyond simply facilitating our work. The new innovations in technology have really changed the way we work. Learning goals At the end of this course, the student…
1. has profound knowledge in the domains of how communication technology changed our work-home interface; 2. has profound knowledge in the domain of mediated collaboration in virtual teams; 3. has profound knowledge on the impact of social media and personnel selection and gamification in online assessments; 4. realizes the importance of empirical evidence for effectiveness of all constructs that are common practice in the work field; 5. has developed a meta-cognitive view on the topics included in this course and is able to critically read and integrate the literature; 6. is able to apply the theoretical concepts discussed in this course to issues in the workplace. This can result in a theoretically funded advise for organizations; 7. knows how to evaluate claims made in popular press and realizes that empirically sound is not the same as valuable in practice and vice versa.

| B1 level English language proficiency | The course activities consist of independent study activities and a self-directed collaborative project carried out in teams. THE INDEPENDENT STUDY ACTIVITIES consist of individual exercises and activities that are available online and that support the process for the collaborative team project. THE SELF-DIRECTED COLLABORATIVE TEAM PROJECT lasts approximately eight weeks. Transnational teams, set up by the course teachers, identify a relevant problem based on the UN Sustainable Development Goals. Following the stages of a design-thinking process, teams design a solution to the problem and present their solution in a 3-5 minute video pitch. Each team makes autonomous decisions regarding their own timetable, processes and the choice of the problem, within the start and end dates of the project defined in the schedule. Teams collaborate using online communication tools of their choice. | 2-5 | 7 | 30 | |

| autumn/winter semester 2024/25 | | Ruhr University Bochum | Faculty of Philology | BA/BSc + MA/MSc | Asynchronous online course | | | Anette Pankratz | Britain after 1945 went through several stages of crisis: the loss of its Empire, economic problems, Margaret Thatcher's rather harsh neoliberal régime, David Cameron's policies of austerity and – recently – Brexit, Boris Johnson, Liz Truss, COVID-19, the death of Elizabeth II and the family feuds of the Windsors. Britain after 1945 also introduced the Welfare State, affluence, youth subcultures and pop cultures. The tensions between crisis and experiment fit into the post-war world of the postmodern, where and when "anything goes". This does not only cover new approaches in architecture, the arts and literature. It also denotes new ways of thinking about society and culture developed by theorists such as Jacques Derrida, Jean Baudrillard, Judith Butler, Homi Bhabha and Jean-Francois Lyotard who emphasised the breaking up of binaries and states of oscillation between self and Other, local and global, reality and representation.The aim of the lecture course is to give a survey of British post-war culture and its different stages of post-modernisms – from the beginnings of the affluent society up to the present moment. There will be no grand narratives, but fragmented bits and pieces shedding light on cultural phenomena such as Magic Realism and meta-historic novels, Beatlemania, James Bond and the Royal Family.This will be an asynchronous online course, credited on a pass/fail basis. The weekly Units will contain pre-recorded Power Point Presentations and quizzes. In addition to this, there will be weekly non-obligatory live sessions for clarifications, discussions and updates. | | Passing the online quizzes | 2.5 | 50 | 200 | |

| autumn/winter semester 2024/25 | | Erasmus University Rotterdam | Erasmus School of History, Culture and Communication | BA/BSc | Thusdays, | | 02/09/2024 | prof.dr. PT van de Laar | The second half of the 19th century witnessed a period of rapid urbanization in Europe. The life of the city dweller, in particular in Europe, became economically, socially and economically dominant. This course orientates on the major transformations: - Urbanization, the growth of cities and the shaping of the modern global city - The port city as specific city (second city, shock city) and its relationship to the global city - The planned modern city and ideal models on urban planning - Cities as places of migration and superdiversity - Urban visual culture, urban icons and the mediatisation of the city - Urban heritage, public history and the role of the city museum
Rotterdam, originally one of the many typical Dutch commercial medieval cities, showed a spectacular growth in the 19th century. Rotterdam became the working city of the Randstad conurbation and turned into a world port after the Second World War. The modern urban history of Rotterdam – considered to be the most dynamic city of the Dutch metropolis since 1850 – is used as a case study to discuss the impact of 19th and 20th century urban transformations. Cities have played a significant role in the transformation of the world and today a majority of the world population lives in cities. Many scholars relate this urban revolution to a new round of globalisation. However, globalisation is a much longer-term historical process. This course focuses on 19th and 20th century’s urban transformation and gives an introduction on global urban history, using Rotterdam as a case study.

Cyberpsychology, a part of psychology focusing on online activities, utilizes AI in two ways: AI influences the shape of the cyberspace, creating new forms of individual and collective activities, and provides analytical tools to support data analysis and research in the social sciences concerning life in virtual reality. The second part of the lecture presents current research in the field of cyberpsychology, which concentrates on online activities and their potential impact on well-being. The presented content will familiarize students with the scope and psychological tools used in these studies. In conjunction with the AI tools discussed in the first part, they will form the foundations of the toolkit for researchers exploring social and psychological aspects of the cyberspace.

We will examine their cartography, architecture and social environments, accounting for the process of their emergence and constitution as symbols of American success. Engaging with critical scholarship, students explore how the metropolis expresses and determines American cultural philosophy. The course is accompanied by documentary film screenings that supply urban images from diverse metropolitan contexts from both past and present, which enrich an understanding of American urban landscapes and modes of dwelling. The course will additionally investigate such consequences of city boosterism as, among others, suburbanization, ethnic segregation, homelessness, deindustrialization, digitization and emancipation of cities (as political actors).
| | The final grade for this course will be calculated based on active class participation, two presentations (prepared by each student individually for each part of the course) and two reviews of the presentation. The presentation (~20 minutes long) should represent the student's approach to the topic and contain basic facts about the chosen city's history (and artography/geography if it applies), present problems/challenges and social characteristics. The review is feedback information (up to 10 minutes long) on the other student's presentation (a reviewer will follow the Presentation Evaluation Rubric).
A record of attendance is maintained. Students whose class participation falls below 50% in Part I or II will fail the course. Attendance is mandatory on the day of your presentation and review. Postponement will be granted only with documentary evidence, such as a medical certificate, in case of illness or other emergencies.

| autumn/winter semester 2024/25 | | Ruhr University Bochum | Faculty for Computer Science | MA/MSc | 10 October 2024 - 30 Januar 2025, 16:15-17:00 with exams following | | | Prof. Dr. Gregor Schöner | This course lays the foundations for a neurally grounded understanding of the fundamental processes in perception, in cognition, and in motor control, that enable intelligent action in the world. The theoretical perspective is aligned with ideas from embodied and situated cognition, but embraces concepts of neural representation and aims to reach higher cognition. Neural grounding is provided at the level of populations of neurons in the brain that form strongly recurrent neural networks and are ultimately linked to the sensory and motor surfaces. The theoretical concepts on which the course is based come form dynamical systems theory. These concepts are used to characterize neural processes in strongly recurrent neural networks as neural dynamic systems, in which stable activation states emerge from the connectivity patterns within neural populations. These connectivity patterns imply that neural populations represent low-dimensional features spaces. This leads to neural dynamic fields of activation as the building blocks of neural cognitive architectures. Dynamic instabilities induce change of attractor states from which cognitive functions such as detection, change, or selection decisions, working memory, and sequences of processing stages emerge. The course partially follows a textbook (Dynamic Thinking—A primer on Dynamic Field Theory, Schöner, Spencer, and the DFT research group. Oxford University Press, 2016), of which chapters will serve as reading material. Exercises will focus on hands-on simulation experiments, but also involve readings and the writing of short essays on interdisciplinary research topics. See www.dynamicfieldtheory.org for some of that material. Tutorials on mathematical concepts are provided, so that training in calculus and differential equations is useful, but not a prerequisite for the course.
| | This course requires some basic math preparation, typically as covered in two semesters of higher mathematics (functions, differentiation, integration, differential equations, linear algebra). The course does not make extensive use of the underlying mathematical techniques, but uses the mathematical concepts to express scientific ideas. Students without prior training in the relevant mathematics may be able to follow the course, but will have to work harder to familiarize themselves with the concepts.
