In this course, students explore what reading literature at university level entails. Students are invited to explore different models of authorship, readership, and textuality, in order to reflect on how meaning is produced in the genres of poetry and drama. For example, how do we identify meter and rhythm? What do terms like 'caesura' and 'parallelis' mean, and what are they used for? In drama there is a big difference between reading a play on the page and seeing it performed on a stage - how do we get from one to the other? This course explores the key terms and concepts needed to address such questions and enable students to read previously unseen texts confidently at a first reading.

Language and communication are important aspects of how societies and individuals understand and deal with health and well-being. This course examines key aspects of communication in relation to health and well-being across a range of scales, including the societal and community scales, within health and social care settings and between individuals. Students are introduced not only to ideas and theory on these topics but also to practical activities, which enables them to reflect on their own experiences of communication styles across these settings and to further develop specific skills. Through lectures/workshops and tutorials students explore the ways in which (1) health matters are represented and discussed in public media, (2) language and communication shape individuals' experiences of health and wellbeing, and the role talk plays in help-seeking and health-related behaviors, and (3) language and communication are constitutive of the delivery of health and social care.
