2010 Uehiro Lecture 3: Professor Masaki Ichinose
Modes of Responsibility Part 3: Death Penalty and Human Rights Masaki Ichinose takes a historical approach to investigate the issue of the death penalty, examining Locke's theory of property rights to discuss the justifiability and possibility of the death penalty. He proposes a view ('impossibilism') on the death penalty rather than retentionism or abolitionism - the impossibilism is a hypothetical or conditional view presupposing the theory of human rights.

The extreme challenges of life in the polar regions require the animals who make their habitat there to make many adaptations. This unit explores the polar climate and how animals like reindeer, polar bears, penguins, sea life and even humans manage to survive there. It looks at the adaptations to physiological proceses, the environmental effects on diet, activity and fecundity, and contrasts the strategies of aquatic and land-based animals in surviving in this extreme habitat.

2.1 Introduction
“I blame the parents!” How often is that phrase used to explain the ills of society and is it valid? This material will consider how important is quality parenting, who judges it, and is its provision the sole responsibility of parents – should parents just be left to get on with it? It explores what parenting actually means, what is meant by quality parenting and, how it can be enhanced and promoted. It is of interest to anyone who is, might become or works with parents.

Professor Mary Teagarden Webinar: Intellectual Property Protection in China
Protecting know-how and intellectual property is a challenge in any market, but especially in hyper-dynamic markets such as China. This is even truer for companies in high-tech services who rely on knowledge to compete. Thunderbird Professors Mary Teagarden and Andreas Schotter, with the help of Joab Meyer '07 and more than 40 other alumni, investigated what companies do to win this intensely dynamic "war" to impede knowledge asset leaks and assure long-term performance.

3.1 Maps as history Maps represent knowledge of the time and space within which they are compiled and produced. In this way they form part of the historic record. An old map is a picture, albeit selective, of the past and forms a baseline for studying change. The first edition of the Irish Ordnance Survey (see Map 2 below) provides a picture of the landscape just prior to the Great Famine of the 1840s. What changes do you think might be seen
