Course Description
For four decades Britain faced the prospect of nuclear war with the Soviet Union. In 1953, UK defense planning assumed such an exchange would result in 1.4 million deaths and three-quarters of a million casualties. Within a year, the Soviet development of the hydrogen bomb vastly increased these figures. Almost as soon as it was over, however, the Cold War seems to have evaporated from popular memory. Using a wide range of primary sources, many recently released, this course explores this increasingly forgotten episode in British history. Focusing on the first half of the Cold War, the course provides an introduction to the war's military and political dimensions whilst also considering its social and cultural impact on the lives of contemporary Britons.

Course Description
This course examines the function of imagination in our appreciation of music. Through a series of case studies the course explores music's ability to evoke different voices, to negotiate between real and imaginary worlds, to move back and forwards through time, and to engage our imaginations. It considers the critical strategies of historical commentators and modern scholars as well as our own responses, aiming to understand how music works in relation to other arts, and the meanings that emerge from the gap between music and its texts.

Course Description
This course examines social, cultural, and political patterns in the East Asian societies of Greater China, Japan, and Korea. Emphasis is on the shared traditions that define East Asia as a region, and its component societies with the forces associated with cultural, social, and political “globalization” historically and during recent decades, and on the particular characteristics of each society. The study of East Asian society provides a unique opportunity to explore differences in the construction and articulation of key social divisions between countries and regions, as well as compare and critically examine existing conceptualizations of them. Going beyond dichotomies of East and West, traditional and modern, this course examines sociological issues from a theoretically informed and comparative perspective among East Asia and between East Asia and Europe.
