The course will provide students with an understanding of the practice and principles of the use and abuse of drugs in sports. Drugs are used by athletes for a number of reasons, including the need to treat diseases just as non-athletes do, but very often these drugs are abused in forms that are dangerous for an athlete's health and contrary to the ethical principles of sports. Since the use of drugs in sports varies greatly from country to county, we will also look closely at the European and Italian approaches to this problem, and compare them with the American point of view. nnParticular attention will be devoted to the concept of doping, the rules and regulations of the World Anti-Doping Agency, and its impact on athletes' careers, both at an amateur and at a professional level. The ethical implications of doping in sports will be thoroughly and carefully considered, as described in the World Anti-Doping Code, the core document that lays out anti-doping policies, rules and regulations within sport organizations and among public authorities around the world.

By engaging in both aesthetic and experiential learning, we hope to learn about: 1) the sociocultural constitution of selves; 2) the specificity of the American self; 3) an appreciation for the historical and cultural specificity of the Italian self. The course will be organized around several key social practices and institutions that shape selves and cultures. After first examining hypotheses about different models of the self, students will walk out into the city of Florence to investigate different domains of life through analyses of cultural products and visits to schools, churches, sporting events, museums, government offices, grocery stores, street markets, retail shops, restaurants and cafes.

OSPFLOR 26. The Politics of the European Crisis: from the Maastricht Treaty to the Greek Crunch. 5 Units.

The course will discuss and analyze the European Crisis, which started in Greece in 2009 and is still going on. The main objective is to help students develop a critical comprehension of the inner functioning of the European Union's economics, politics and institutions, so as to understand the reasons for the crisis and the solutions undertaken.nnThis course is divided into three main parts.nnThe first part will explore the ways in which the crisis has affected the functioning of the European institutions, in particular how it has changed the role of the European Parliament, of the European Commission and of the European Council. By analyzing the European financial crisis we will be able to understand the specific institutional framework of the European Union and how it differs from the U.S.nnThe second part of this course will examine the ways in which Europe has addressed the crisis through its policies (fiscal, monetary and banking policies), and how they have consequently evolved. A comparative analysis with the United States will show the complexity entailed in having one monetary policy and nineteen distinct national budgets. nnThe third part of the class will come to grips with the bail-out programs implemented in five European countries (Greece, Ireland, Portugal, Spain and Cyprus). We will consider both successful examples such as Spain and Ireland, and more problematic ones, such as Greece and Portugal. The rise of populist parties, in Greece and in many European countries, is addressed as one of the key challenges in Europe.nnThe course concludes by looking at the next steps in the progress of European integration: how far away (and how difficult) is the creation of a true Political Union in Europe, similar to the United states? Are the 28 Member States ready to give up more sovereignty? And if so, in which areas? If further steps are not accomplished, what are the risks of moving backwards? What are the risks of a potential disruption of the Euro? Should the U.S. be more engaged with the current European situation in light of the broader geopolitical risks?.

OSPFLOR 27. Gardens of Florence. 1-2 Unit.

This course will examine the cultural geography of Florence's social spaces as sites for the development of the personal, social, and political experiences of an Italian cultural identity. Focusing on literary forms, landscape art, and garden history primarily in Florence and its environs, we will consider the roles of landscape and garden design and the ways that these arts represent the cultural and social ideology of their times. Florence is the home to a range of magnificent gardens, including the Giardino Bardini, Giardino di Boboli, Giardino delle Rosa, and the Giardino di Villa Gamberaia. To understand fully Italy's historic gardens it is important to appreciate both the political and social aspirations of the garden makers. How is the reality of landscape design related to the imaginary structures of aesthetic sensibility? How do both real landscapes and imaginary forms interact with social structures and economic models? These are the kinds of questions that we will pose as we explore the gardens, country estates, and city gardens of Florence to understand both their formal structures and the social aesthetics of their eras. It will also introduce the work of "social geography," especially as it relates to the study of landscape design, gardens, and the social use of public spaces in the Florence and Italian context.

OSPPARIS 10G. Oceanography Research Internship. 6 Units.

Evaluating the sensitivity of marine habitats to physical pressures caused by human activitiesnIn 2014, the Conservation Services (SPN) of the Museum of Natural History in Paris (MNHN) launched a project to evaluate the sensitivity of marine habitats (such as reefs) to physical pressures caused by human activities. These include the pressures of physical loss and physical damage associated with activities such as fishing, aggregate extraction, wind farms, anchoring and coastal development.nnThis project is funded by the French Ministry of Ecology, who consider habitat sensitivity information essential to the management of Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) and the wider marine environment ¿ both of which are obligatory under the European Habitats Directive and Marine Strategy Framework Directive. France is not the first European country to undertake sensitivity assessments for marine habitats. Equivalent evaluations exist or are in the process of development in neighbouring EU countries, including the UK. The SPN-MNHN wants to insure that we effectively draw on these existing information sources as well as identify data gaps. All EU information would also need to be 'translated' in a way that fits with how habitats are defined and classified here in France.nnThis internship would consist of working with the SPN-MNHN team in the analysis of the existing knowledge base, with a focus on Atlantic and English Channel habitats in France. This will support the population of "habitat sensitivity matrices" and highlight gaps in evidence that would require further literature review/expert judgement. This stage follows up on an earlier study undertaken by a Stanford student in summer 2014, entitled "Review of recent methodologies to evaluate the physical impacts of fishing on marine benthic habitats" which helped the SPN-MNHN and its scientific experts decide on an appropriate methodology for assessing habitat sensitivity in France in early 2015.
