Drawing on a diverse range of texts and media from Charles Dickens to the Sex Pistols, Oxford Union debates to Derry Girls, this course ventures a look at historical and current events that have shaped and that continue to shape the UK. Students will have the opportunity to engage in extensive academic and colloquial discussion and will work on their written language by writing and peer reviewing texts of various genres.
Format: If it is not possible to meet in person, this class will take place online via Zoom (synchronous). If for technical or personal reasons you are not able to participate in online seminars, please get in touch with me before the start of the semester so that we can consider alternatives.
