This course examines the parameters of the youth crime "problem" and the function of the Youth Justice System, while introducing a range of theories examining why young people engage in delinquent behaviors. Lectures explore key issues associated with young people, such as drug use, anti-social behavior, and gang membership.

This course examines dance, theater, performance, and visual arts practices that are located within a feminist re-imagining of the body. Through a series of case studies drawn across geographic, historical, and cultural contexts, students engage with the varied histories, techniques, and creative processes of a feminist praxis. The course puts diverse art forms that investigate activism, gender equality, and feminist politics in dynamic conversation. Students consider different cultures of feminism, modes of feminist practice, and what it means to be a feminist spectator. Students cover a wide range of cultural, textual, and performative genres including plays, dance, and physical theater performances, films, graphic novels, and music videos. 

The course provides a broad overview of how citizens, politicians, and the media interact across Western democracies during both electoral and governing periods. While the course covers key aspects of political communication in the United Kingdom, the focus is mostly on the differences that exist in media-politics relationships across the Western world.
