Because the seminar and its linked exercise share students, this design deliberately cross-references the required readings from lectures rather than duplicating them: Sartre and the responsibilization literature are treated as shared vocabulary the students already have, which the seminar then puts to work on a concrete institutional question: not "does the individual consumer bear responsibility?" but how does international law construct, allocate, and enforce responsibility for corporations and states in a transforming, sustainability-stressed world?

The seminar takes international law as a lens, not a destination. First-semester students from all disciplines will not become international lawyers in one semester. The goal is that they can identify a real transformation challenge, build a workable research question and design around it, and use disciplinary and cross-disciplinary methods to investigate it, with law as one entry point among several they may choose to combine (education, business administration, environmental sciences, political science, engineering, economics, psychology, cultural studies, and much more).

•Distinguish the main mechanisms through which international and transnational law assigns responsibility to corporations and states (hard law treaties, customary international law, soft law/standards, domestic laws with extraterritorial reach, investor–state dispute settlement, etc.).
•Read and productively translate a legal instrument, arbitral award, or corporate disclosure document for a non-specialist audience — identifying what work the language is actually doing.
•Compare accountability regimes across at least two jurisdictions or regions and explain why the comparison matters for a sustainability/transformation question.
