This lecture is planned as a joint teaching project with the University of Oxford, financially supported by the Oxford Berlin Research partnership. The actual lecture and tutorials will be delivered as block courses, one week in Oxford (March 18-22, 2024) and one week in Berlin (April 8-12, 2024), with assignments in between. Students from HUB are expected to travel to Oxford and live in a college in the first week, whereas students from Oxford visit us in the second week. For details and updates, see webpage.
