Computational Modelling for All

Course Description:
This course is a study of the basic tools required to examine processes that occur in the real world and write code to simulate that occurrence. We will be using the processing programming environment to create visual models that provide us with a ‘laboratory’ where we can conduct experiments which would be impossible or too expensive to do in real life. We also learn how the basis of data analytics, and how to share data using standard popular notations and produce effective visualisations of data.

Introduction to Artificial Intelligence

Course Description:
The course will be an exploration of the basic methodologies for the design of artificial agents in complex environments. The course will first start with classical AI approaches where these agents are goal-oriented and take decisions in a potentially unknown environment. Then it will move on to more sophisticated models allowing agents to have a representation of the other agents, their potential decisions and their goal, a representation about the representations of other agents, and so forth. This induces complex patterns of strategic reasoning, both in competitive and cooperative interactions, which need to be formally modelled and analysed. These agent-based systems are built upon three important methodologies: Logic, because of the focus on reasoning, Game-Theory, because of the focus on strategies, and Algorithms, because of the focus on artificial agents.

Economics

Behavioural Economics

Course Description:
The aim of this course is to introduce students to the field of behavioural economics. The broad objective will be to insert more behavioural realism into economic theory and thus provide students with a better understanding of the important role that Behavioural Economics plays in explaining consumer and producer behaviour. By first ensuring an understanding of the traditional models of economics, the course will then aim to examine evidence that shows some departure from the assumptions made in the canonical economic model. We then aim to show how such departures can be formalized theoretically and how the resulting models find empirical confirmation.

Game Theory and Competitive Strategy

Course Description:
As students will discover, game theory is an essential tool for understanding of a wide range real world phenomena. Among others, this course aims to answer three vital questions: What is game theory about? How do I apply game theory? Why is game theory right? Students should develop an appreciation for how the details of a game such as when players move and why they know can have a large impact on outcomes.

International Development

Course Description:
This course aims to address some of the most important questions facing economists, politicians and society. Why do some people live in luxury, while others can barely afford to eat and have no access to clean water? Economics helps to answer these questions and this course will aim to build on the knowledge and economic theories that students already have and apply it to the issues surrounding economic growth and development. The course will enable students to develop their understanding of the problems faced by countries in the earliest stages of development and determine the way in which economics and policy can help such economies. The course will aim to draw on both microeconomic and macroeconomic theories and will encourage students to apply their knowledge of economics to real world issues, by analysing the literature and drawing on empirical studies. Through examining countries at different stages of development and understanding the obstacles they face, students will gain a broader understanding of the way in which economic policy can promote growth and development. They will also be encouraged to critically examine such interventions by domestic and international governments to determine the effectiveness of different policies.

Introduction to Economics

Course Description:
The course will provide you with a sound knowledge of and an ability to apply the key principles of economics to every day events. Within this course, we will look at both microeconomics and macroeconomics: that is, the study of individuals, consumers and firms, as well as looking at the wider economy and concepts such as economic growth, unemployment and the financial crises. The course will begin by exploring the fundamental economic question. We live in a world with scarce resources, including oil, money, time, energy and goods and services. However, we have unlimited wants. Therefore, we consider how these scarce resources are allocated and in doing so, we will explore the importance of choice. The course will then develop many fundamental concepts, ideas and models that economists use to study all the questions that result from this fundamental economic problem.

Law, Undergraduate

International Economic Law

Course Description:
Once Europe finished bludgeoning itself in 1945, new trading rules were adopted to facilitate the rebuilding of the continent and to maintain control over rebelling colonies. If we add to this the decreasing cost of international transport and the accelerating speed of communication, it was inevitable that global economic activity would soar. And soar it has with the rate and breadth of global economic activity reaching over the past three generations alone levels unseen in all of human history. Unsurprisingly, these activities have altered the nature of the global economy and of the societies it connects, challenging the capacities of national governments to regulate economic activity within their domestic borders. The erosion of domestic authority is straining the supposed consensus on the value of economic globalisation, characterised by the rise of nationalistic, and usually ethno-chauvinist movements across the European continent. Despite these transformations, popular knowledge of the regulatory regime underpinning the global economy is sparse at best. This is largely due to the representation of international economic law (IEL) as a technical field preoccupied solely with GDPs, deficits, and exchange rates. Economic regulation, however, cannot be separated from social imperatives that exist beyond the mere exchange of goods and services. In this module, you will develop a deeper appreciation of the past, present, and future of international economic law and, in the process, acquire a greater understanding of the political capacities and opportunities shaped by international law for individuals and corporations, states and societies.

Literature of the First World War

Course Description:
The Great War of 1914 - 1918 is seen as a key event in the Modern era, one that reverberates throughout writing of the early twentieth century. This module examines a range of different representations of the war in poetry and prose, autobiography, letters and journals. The course considers the ways in which literary representation is forced to adapt within war writing in order to engage with the horrors of trench warfare. The first part of the course initially engages with a range of poetry and prose from different writers, focusing especially upon Wilfred Owen, Siegfried Sassoon and Isaac Rosenberg, soldier poets who opposed the war by writing explicit and emotive verse recounting known work of female poets such as Anna Keown and Jessie Pope in the collection Scars Upon My Heart. The course then goes on to consider two key prose works of the First World War: Eric Maria Remarque’s novel All Quiet on the Western Front and Hemingways’s novel A Farewell to Arms. We also read two memoirs Robert Graves’ Goodbye to All That and Edmund Blunden’s Undertones of War.

Digital Cultures

Course Description:
"This module considers the role of digital and social media in 21st-century life. A focus throughout the module is on the ways in which these types of media have increasingly formed part of everyday life. ‘New’ media has been discussed by commentators in both utopian terms (the information superhighway, the global village) and dystopian ones (Gamergate, the surveillance state, ‘post-truth’ journalism). The module examines some ways of viewing digital media in terms of technological developments; the politics and economy of media; social media, participation and online communities; as well as the ‘remediation’ of previous media forms through digital platforms. It also engages students with the ethical and political issues involved in contemporary media production and consumption."

The Paradox of Horror

Course Description:
On this module we will investigate ‘the paradox of horror’ - why audiences of horror cinema find films which are designed to shock, disgust and frighten so entertaining, enjoyable and appealing. In addressing this question, a range of theoretical approaches will be examined, including genre theory, psychoanalytic criticism, spectatorship, philosophy, social-psychology and ideology. We will consider horror both as a genre and as a product of social, historical and industrial forces, relating generic shifts to shifts in production and cultural context. We will explore the attractions of a range of horror films (including the slasher film, vampire cinema, and Body Horror) for different audiences, including teens, women, and ‘gore hounds’. Finally, we will address the political and cultural functions of horror, examining issues of censorship and the regulation of media industries. To this end, we will address issues arising from the debates surrounding the horror genre, specifically what roles horror films play in society and in individuals lives, and whether they are merely harmless entertainment or are likely to ‘deprave and corrupt’.

Course Description:
This module helps students to think about the kind of work that historians do – why they write history in the ways that they do, why they ask particular types of questions, what assumptions they bring to their work, what historians think about other people’s ways of producing accounts about the past, and the role of historical knowledge in contemporary culture. We talk about the relationship between history and memory, and ask why it is that people believe they have a responsibility to remember the past – and why cultures collectively remember what they do. We consider the extent to which histories are objective, neutral, true accounts of past events. We think about the possible futures for history and how historians have experimented with – and broken – some of the rules of history writing.

Imagining the Ottoman Empire

Course Description:
This module will use an examination of key historiographical debates in modern Ottoman history writing to explore both topics from Ottoman history, and ideas concerning the nature of history/the past, and narrations of the past. Such debates will include the “decline thesis”; the influence of nationalism on (re)constructions of the Ottoman past; the theory that Islamic states are traditionally despotic, static, and fundamentally and qualitatively different to European states; and the idea that the Ottomans were inward looking and obscurantist. Primary sources will be extensively used in the module and subjected to critical analysis. Moreover, the impact that audience, function and the wider context against which a text was produced and consumed has on the potential meanings will be examined: in terms of primary sources, secondary histories of the Ottoman Empire and the students’ and lecturer’s own interpretations.

20th Century Literature

Course Description:
This module concentrates on the various foci and discrete schools of literature across the twentieth century in the wake of Modernism. Responding to such historical, ideological, and social crises as the end of empire, the “death” of God, and the increased sense of isolation and alienation, the literature of this period develops new strategies with which to communicate the human condition. A range of representative literary texts will be used to illustrate this. In addition – and to support our readings of these texts – the module will introduce students to a wide range of contemporary critical theories and approaches, such as Post-Modernism, Absurdism, and Magical Realism. A representative range of authors and texts might include

Gender and Identity in the Victorian Novel

Course Description:
On this course we begin by reading Emily Brontë’s Wuthering Heights, a novel as challenging as its sister text Jane Eyre. In reading the five novels on the course we will consider the different methods of storytelling of writers like Emily Brontë, Charles Dickens and George Eliot, concentrating especially upon the different ways in which women are represented. The aim of the course is to consider how each writer engages with key Victorian issues such as marriage, the construction of the domestic sphere and the representation of class. We will also think about the fact that many of these writers were able to offer such debate whilst also feeding an eager Victorian public the melodrama they wanted to consume.

Introduction to Critical Theory

Course Description:
The module introduces critical theory and its application to the reading of literary texts. Beginning with classical descriptions of form and unity, the module traces the major developments in critical theory to the present day. Topics covered will include: colonialism / post-colonialism; feminism / post-feminism; formalism; liberal humanism; Marxism; modernism; narratology; new-historicism; post-modernism; psychoanalysis; structuralism / post- structuralism; queer theory. Theories will be introduced historically, with attention to the relationship between theory and cultural context designed to enable students to recognise the essentially ideological nature of theory. By extension, while the nature of the syllabus implies, to a certain extent, the division of theory into discrete schools of thought, the module, following recent interventions by the likes of Agnes Heller and Carlos Escudé, will also seek to examine the wider questions about authority, creativity and culture posed by the concept of theory. Theoretical praxis will be illustrated with reference to two novels, one from the nineteenth century and one from the twentieth.

This means that understanding nationalism is not only of historical importance, but vital to those considering careers in law, politics and government, journalism and the media, since it touches on anyone involved in advocacy, policy and media roles. Students on this module will examine the nature of nationalism, considering the extent to which it should be considered a ‘modern phenomenon’, the difference between ‘civic’ and ‘ethnic’ nationalism, and the relationship between nationalism and other ideologies. Historical case studies will then allow students to examine the political consequences of nationalist movements from the French Revolution to the present day, as well as the ways in which nationalism interacts with social class, gender, religion and the state. Although the focus will be primarily on Europe, some non European material will be considered, especially in relation to decolonisation and the end of empire.
