The Subject

This chapter provides an experiential learning technique (ELT) teaching strategy for instructors and their undergraduate students in international trade law. It is hoped that the chapter's overall topic shall be elucidated further with the application of the Bloom's taxonomy of learning methodology. The significance and impact of experiential learning technique (ELT) can be best achieved when there is actual immersion on the subject matter through the direct participation of both teacher and learner. The classroom, whether or not specifically designed for either a natural or pure science laboratory or the broad discipline of social science lectures, can become a reservoir of experiential learning technique through the application of doable classroom exercises (DCE) and actionable learning outcomes (ALO) as will be discussed in this chapter.

Definition Of

I imagine most people with an interest in the subject have their own working definition of globalization. My definition goes something like this: Globalization is at least in part about the spread of mass markets and common tastes, albeit with variations. International trade law, by reducing the possibility that individual countries can “prefer” their own productions, is one of the mechanisms for facilitating the spread of these common tastes. I am by no means implying that the global tastes are elevated ones; in fact, the mass-appeal products sought might be inferior in many ways to what came before. The irony of the franchise, for instance, is thatbetterorworsedoes not matter—only sameness. The important thing is that the tastes are commonly held across a national-culture-free zone, and recognized as such.

The Law

For over six years now, the law has been central to policy debates about genetically modified organism (GMO) corn in México, the birthplace of maíz (corn). In the lawsuit Colectividad del Maíz, the domestic courts have shaped the policy on GMO corn. Out of concern for biodiversity, the courts have suspended regulatory approval for commercial GMO corn permits needed by seed companies. This article uses decolonial theory to examine how the law can both encourage and limit the use of GMOs. Decolonial perspectives isolate how economics, legal authorities, and ideologies work in unison to shape relations between the Global South and private interests. This is accomplished by defining the subject of any such legal regulations. Different legal doctrines treat GMOs in different and distinct ways. Under the doctrines of biosecurity, intellectual property, and international trade law, markets and biotechnology benefit as the subject of the law. Such doctrines disenfranchise maíz nativo (non-GMO corn) by making it the law’s object. The article also adopts Bruno Latour’s theory of “down to earth” politics to identify important changes in GMO regulations. Collective action litigation has limited the expansion of GMO corn via the application of precautionary principle measures and motivated new legislation in México.

The Impact

Baccalaureate-level social workers are often the front line of service for older adults with dementia. Therefore, future social workers must be provided knowledge, resources, and experiences to build the confidence and competence to work with clients exhibiting dementia symptoms at the undergraduate level. This study explores the impact of an experiential learning technique that provides undergraduate students in two introductory-level social work courses with an opportunity to participate in a dementia simulation. The simulation allows students to briefly experience life as an older adult with dementia. Results indicate that the simulation had a significant effect on the students' empathy toward and understanding of older adults with dementia.

Developing Area

Intensive research in matrix completions, moments, and sums of Hermitian squares has yielded a multitude of results in recent decades. This book provides a comprehensive account of this quickly developing area of mathematics and applications and gives complete proofs of many recently solved problems. With MATLAB codes and more than two hundred exercises, the book is ideal for a special topics course for graduate or advanced undergraduate students in mathematics or engineering, and will also be a valuable resource for researchers. Often driven by questions from signal processing, control theory, and quantum information, the subject of this book has inspired mathematicians from many subdisciplines, including linear algebra, operator theory, measure theory, and complex function theory. In turn, the applications are being pursued by researchers in areas such as electrical engineering, computer science, and physics. The book is self-contained, has many examples, and for the most part requires only a basic background in undergraduate mathematics, primarily linear algebra and some complex analysis. The book also includes an extensive discussion of the literature, with close to six hundred references from books and journals from a wide variety of disciplines.
