ASE seminar class numbers are limited to preserve the small, interactive class experience. Whilst we cannot guarantee that every course offered will run, we always take note of the priority given to seminar classes by students (that is, how they have ranked them on the application form) and try to allocate places accordingly.

Confronting Ethical Problems in the 21st Century
War, global instability, and inequality. Terrorism, migration, and fascism. The rise of AI and climate change.
These issues shape the contemporary political and ethical landscape and urge us to examine them carefully in order to navigate our world.
This course explores the idea of ethical behaviour and the ethical self in the twenty-first century. Students will be encouraged to see ethical answers in the ‘poly-crisis’ of modern life.
Religion, Mind and Society
Why do humans believe, worship, and seek meaning in the unseen? In this course we explore how human thought, emotion, and social life shape religion. We ask why people believe, how rituals work, and what religion reveals about the human mind and body. Drawing on psychology, philosophy, and anthropology, we examine how cognitive processes—like memory, imagination, and moral reasoning—connect with cultural traditions, social practices, and embodied experiences.
