S-Sport Leadership

This course is based on the premise that while knowledge of leadership that is captured by readings, structured, and presented by professors in the classroom is a valuable tool for learning, it can be complemented by learning directly from experienced sport executives. This process of combining theory with leadership lessons from the "real world" will require you to read, reflect, write, and prepare diligently for 4-5 visits from top executives in the sport industry.

ST-Madness in Literature

This course reflects on the relationship between literature, madness, and medicine in the literatures of Spain and Latin America (Brazil and Argentina). Through the interplay between madness and its medical treatment, literature has given voice to marginalized groups and deconstructed dialectical dimensions of society (sanity vs. insanity, the real vs. the unreal). Also, due to some literary works put in evidence different modes of representation of reality, they allow us to deeply comprehend mad men and women as subjects of alterity, which, in turn, redefines rationality.
