Course Description
The “industrial revolution” was one of the three or four most important transformations in human history, and Britain was the first society to experience it. At heart that transformation was economic, a profound increase in both outputs and productivity. But crucially it had important social, cultural, intellectual, and political dimensions: class, gender, and generational relations changed considerably; new attitudes towards risk and consumption were forged; radical new ideas proliferated about the economy and the environment, the individual and the collective; and both state and empire played important roles in this “great transformation.” This course, therefore, locates economic developments within a wider framework and explores how dramatically yet uncertainly Britain changed in the 130 years or so before 1830.

Course Description
This course provides an introduction to the ways in which social identities have been studied in the social sciences. It presents key debates and the disagreements and areas of overlap between different theories. It offers students an opportunity to explore cutting edge research on social identities and the fact that everybody has multiple identities but tends to think of themselves in singular ways. It will explore the relevance of different theories for understanding the place of identity in social life by applying theories to everyday situations.

Course Description
Concentrating on the novel, this course examines a series of major issues in relation to 19th-century literature: its relations to revolution in the aesthetic, political, and social spheres; its awareness of the world beyond the frontiers of Metropolitan France; its focus on the seemingly real and the everyday; its formal experimentation; and its preoccupation with the new category of experience called "modernité." Students read three of the most popular novels of the first decades of the century, by Cottin, Chateaubriand, and Duras, then consider the cultural and political battles around three longer novels by Hugo, Flaubert, and Zola while asking what makes these texts so influential to the present day.

Course Description
This course addresses a variety of questions that are relevant in macroeconomics and for our current understanding of the global economy. Students cover five topics chosen in the following (non-exhaustive) list: the very long run and demographics, business cycles, hyperinflation, the liquidity trap, income and wealth inequalities, sustainable development and Easter Island economics, and Market Economy vs Planned Economy and USSR economic development. In this course, students develop their appreciation of the value of macroeconomic theory and mathematical modelling for the understanding of historical and current economic issues.

Course Description
This course presents students with the major theoretical concepts associated with materials science, such as bonding, atomic and molecular structure, phase equilibria, crystallography, and dislocation theory, so that a strong understanding of the relationship between structure and properties in materials can be developed. It also introduces and presents the basic theory associated with the mechanical behavior of engineering materials when under load, both in the elastic and plastic regimes, as appropriate to the material. The course also presents the materials science theory within a real-world context, with a particular emphasis on the manufacturing methods that are employed to turn basic materials into components and products. Through this study it will hopefully become apparent that the properties of materials are strongly determined by the structure of materials (on levels ranging from the nano to the macro scale) and that such structure is, in turn, itself strongly influenced by the manufacturing methods utilized. It is through manufacturing methodology that engineers have the greatest ability to alter and optimize materials properties such as strength and toughness, stiffness and even corrosion resistance.
