Option in Environmental humanities
Our societies are currently undergoing an unprecedented ecological and social crisis. This option aims to provide tools for understanding environmental issues with a focus on two dimensions. Firstly, it involves developing a critical analysis of discourses and practices that involve paradigms at the root of current problems. This critical analysis will draw on what is traditionally referred to as the humanities (philosophy, arts, literature, history). Secondly, it aims to highlight the power of creation in the study of literary and artistic expressions. These are capable of addressing the representational deficit that affects the perception of the crises we are facing and of opening up alternatives.

Option in gender studies
On a reflexive level, gender studies aim to deconstruct prejudices and social constructions that stigmatize men and women and condition their relationships. They strive to move beyond false universalisms and partial viewpoints that go unnoticed.
On a practical level, gender studies highlight the mechanisms that translate differences into hierarchy and thus promote equality between women and men. To introduce this critical perspective, the option in gender studies provides interdisciplinary and interfaculty training. 10 credits per annual block:
Students going on an Erasmus trip in first quarter of Block 3 are encouraged to take LSPED1215 and LDROI1525, otherwise LPOLS1233 and LPSP1322.
