The course has two parts: the first part of the course deals with 4 central subjects that we think are key to understanding Latin America: Environmental History, Sustainability in/of Latin American, Development in/of Latin America, and Postcolonial/Decolonial Theories and History. We count with lecturers that fortunately are very passionate about the subject and have been very helpful, and we count on their presence also for next semester. The second part of the course is focused on grassroots movements and their proposals and organisations as inspiration and examples of how people in the region are re-imagining their territory. The latter span several issues, are varied thematically, and are led by the students.

Some other lectures are also intertwined between the student-led sessions, in order to give some more input and content into the context of Latin America. Some subjects have been the Feminist Movement in Latin America, Constitutional Systems in Latin America, and Protests in Latin America. The content of these will be decided depending on the availability of lecturers and on the feedback we got from the students - we're still working on it.

We will continue, deriving with the experience from last year, with a flipped classroom format that allows the students to directly engage the lecturers and ask what interests them. The same will be applied for the student-led presentations.

The class runs once a week, and we have worked out a schedule and activities that work out and that will be used again this year. These include questions and short paragraphs to be written by the students before each lecture, and we will start to introduce a system where the lecturer gives questions to the students before the lecture - so that these can be discussed during the class (in addition with the ones the students come up with).

Here is the mind map of our initial ideas on how to design the course, including some themes.

https://mm.tt/1456588896?t=6XZaKKXQGg

We are going for a "features based design"!

The first month of the course will have a focus on personal leadership skills, we are exploring using the Theory U framework as a toolkit to guide this.

Keeping in mind the budget, we have decided we will have approximately ten guest lecturers that will present on a topic related to our four overarching themes: Economy, Globalization, Development, and Environment. The role of the guest lecture is to present relavent and engaging material to the class thereby situating the more macro-level theories found in the readings. We aim to have a diverse group of lecturers (different backgrounds, genders, disciplines, and perspectives)

We as the course coordinators will give some background lectures; however, our focus will be on running workshops and debates to engage the class. In our role we will facilitate learning by making sure everything ties together.

Student-led seminars will take place to discuss mandatory book readings. One book will be chosen for each theme of the course. Through teaching one another we aim to provide an environment that increases learning potential and public speaking skills for our students.

While great emphasis is placed on critical perpectives and alternative economic theories, we will provide space for students to be exposed and learn neoclassic economic perspectives.

We will have two examinations: a collaborative exam and a final individual assignment (including a presentation). The collaborative exam is still being planned, but will require students to work together. We hope to see each student's stength in collaboration and in individual critical thinking and reflection.

See our preliminary scheduled attached to see more about potential guest lectures and topics.

Block 1: Introduction to climate, energy, and the climate crisis.

Understanding of what we use energy for, which energy sources there are and how they are used ( energy sectors/ allocation of energy). Current state and consequences on climate, ecological consequences, biodiversity, planetary boundaries/tipping points? Introduce systems thinking (workshop?)

Block 2: Perspectives on climate change

Understanding the complexity of the climate crisis through different social perspectives, e.g. economic, political, law, and humanitarian.

Integrate Corona situation in relation to the social complexity/connectivity/globalized modern society and its effects on working with climate change solutions/issues.

Block 3: The future

Focus on the future: What are current social, technical, and political solutions and how can we imagine other future scenarios on a local, national and global level? Climate psychology ( how to deal with CC on individual and local level+ social movements). Political and business solutions (e.g. Fossil Free Sweden). Future scenario/innovation workshop/lecture, how to imagine other futures?. What technical solutions exist/the potential and viability of renewable energy sources ( in terms of time/resources).

Consider reading utopian literature and finding positive and empowering angles without diminishing severity.
