Course Description
The course is an introduction to the study of comparative politics and provides an overview of some of the key theoretical frameworks, concepts, and analytical methods of this field of study. We study democratic political systems with a view to understanding and explaining their differences and similarities with respect to their political institutions, the behaviour of their key political actors, and their policymaking processes and performance. The course examines the building blocks of the comparative approach. We describe, explain and examine the consequences of different political institutions, with a focus on established democracies, including executive-legislative relations, electoral systems, and strong judiciaries.

Course Description
On this team-taught course, students consider the relationships between literary texts and their various retellings, across the boundaries of form, genre, media, context, language, and tradition. The course covers concerns such as literature in translation, retellings and reworkings, allusion and parody, the production and circulation of texts, and literature on film. It also addresses other key factors in the lives of a text, including questions of authorship, manuscripts and editions, and the evolution of its critical reception. Using a number of significant texts from the Classical to the contemporary periods, the course incorporates many different genres from various disciplines, draws upon a range of authors from diverse backgrounds, and explores the journeys texts make across cultures and time periods.

Course Description
This course encompasses some of the most dramatic events and developments in European and world history: the First World War, the rise of fascism and communism, the Second World War, and the Holocaust. It explores the reconstruction and recovery of Europe after 1945, both as a divided continent during the Cold War and in light of moves towards and challenges to European solidarity and unity. Furthermore, it considers shifting conceptions and geopolitical configurations of a continent in flux, as well as the global dimensions of European history throughout the century. While some sessions focus on particular European nations, others focus on key events or themes in comparative and transnational perspectives. The module thus provides an overall view of the history of modern Europe since the early 20th century and of the foundations of contemporary Europe.

Course Description
The course examines Ireland's 20th century. From one country under the union to two independent states, this course analyzes the political changes that shaped the century. Such changes include the move from Hume Rule and Unionism; revolution to independence; dominion to republic; self-rule to direct rule; and from troubles to peace. The course questions the emphasis on the political narrative that has dominated the study of the century, and considers how the priorities of social, economic, and cultural history raise significant challenges for the traditional studies of 20th-century Ireland. Drawing on a wide range of sources and experiences, this course explores the forces that have shaped Ireland's 20th century, and the extent to which events in the second half of the century have shaped the analysis and debate of the first fifty years.

Course Description
This course examines a part of the Roman Empire which has been much studied by both historians and archaeologists. But Roman Britain is also constantly the subject of fresh discoveries and changing perspectives, creating a challenging topic for study. This course examines the Iron Age background and assesses the impact of the invasion of AD 43 as well as the effect of Roman culture on this remote province. The location of Britain on the fringes of the Roman world highlights particular issues of imperialism, acculturation, and cultural identity.
