This is a mixed lecture-seminar course. As such, its success depends very much on attending lecture and student preparation and involvement. Although there are a set number of lectures on specific topics, the assignments and seminar discussion sessions allow much scope for students to explore areas of particular interest. Classes will be based upon lectures, assigned readings, and discussion seminars. There are also a presentation and two written assignments for this course: a book review and a research essay. Students who cannot attend class are kindly asked to contact the teacher by email. teacher profile teaching materials
