BLOGGURU – Alhamdulillah, satu kesyukuran dan kebahagiaan tersendiri dapat mereguk nikmatnya menuntut ilmu dan pembelajaran tanpa batas. Semuanya ini dapat terwujud atas berkah waktu luang, kesempatan, dan kesehatan yang baik. Hari ini, Rabu (17/9/2025), saat berada di Hotspot Center dalam Lingkungan Ponpes Modern Putri IMMIM Minasatene-Pangkep, disela-sela kegiatan Ngeblog, penulis menyempatkan mengikuti 3 Free Courses “Social, Politics & Law” di situs OpenLearn, the Open University yang berpusat di Inggris, dengan kampus utama di Milton Keynes, Buckinghamshire, Inggris (United Kingdom).
Ketiga Kursus pada Menu “Social, Politics & Law” OpenLearn The Open University ini sudah lama penulis akrabi materi dan sebenarnya merupakan pengulangan (muraja’ah) materi pembelajaran Ilmu Sosial, Politik dan Hukum. Ketiga Kursus yang penulis ikuti ini bersifat Free (gratis) di situs OpenLearn, termasuk sertifikat tanda penyelesaian kursus yang disebut “Statement of Participation”.
Ketiga Kursus singkat (1-3 JP) yang penulis ikuti langsung diselesaikan pada pagi hari ini, Rabu (17/9/2025) adalah sebagai berikut (lengkap dengan deskripsi kursusnya dalam Bahasa Inggris):
1. Free course: Starting with law (Leval 1: Introductory)
This free course, Starting with law, explores key legal concepts such as legal capacity and the rights and responsibilities of the individual. You will examine how laws are made, and how they affect us at different points in our lives. It is an ideal course if you are a beginner or returning to study.
Course learning outcomes: After studying this course, you should be able to: (1) explain why the law matters, (2) give some examples of legal rights and responsibilities, and (3) understand how different reading styles suit different purposes.

3. Free course: Race, ethnicity and crime (Level 3: Advanced)
This free course, Race, ethnicity and crime, briefly examines the relationships between race and ethnicity, and crime, criminalisation and criminal justice. It considers the relationship between crime and cultural difference; the notion of ‘criminalisation’ and how its processes affect individuals and their opportunities; and the lived consequences of racialisation. Specifically, you will examine the ways in which these criminalisations which lead to the over-policing, over-incarceration and under-protection of particular populations lie at the heart of critical criminological arguments.
Course learning outcomes: After studying this course, you should be able to: (1) explain why the concept of criminalisation is valuable for understanding race–crime debates, (2) describe the problem of disproportionality in relation to the criminal justice system, and (3) provide examples of some of the ways in which critical criminology has conceptually approached and researched ‘race’ and ethnicity.
