  • Wrapping up the course now in Winter 2025, online with Jessica. If you've taken a course with her before you'll be familiar with her graded components of two critical reflections, one midterm, and one take-home final. The midterm and final consists of series of essays you have to write within about a week when the prompts are released. The course gives an overview in corporate crime, trafficking, financial crime, and the intersections of all these. Each week's module includes a 1-hour lecture or documentary to watch and two or three journal articles. It is very important to stay on top of your readings.
