8 exam papers in environmental psychology graded

Along with an external examiner I have just completed grading 8 exam papers in the University of Stavanger´s master level course in environmental psychology (run by Department of social studies).

First MEE125 lecture - on human ecology and animals

Today I gave a first lecture in the master course "Philosophy of science and research methods" (MEE125), which is offered to students in three master programmes at the University of Stavanger´s Department of media and social sciences. The topics were human ecology and animals, specifically building on the Anthropocene concept, a chapter in our book Semiotic agency: Science beyond mechanism, and Gibson´s affordance theory.

New opening for admission to Tartu master program in semiotics

I have been asked to distribute information concerning the international master program in semiotics at University of Tartu in Estonia.

13 students will be admitted to the Master's programme in the study year 2014/2015 and for all the admitted students tuition-waiver scholarships are available. Students receiving this scholarship do not have to pay the tuition fee, if they complete a full-time study load (30 ECTS per semester). The deadline for application is the 16th of April, 2014.

Knowing several former master students and having seen their work and development, I can warmly recommend this master program for those with a broad interest in semiotics.
