Course information

Seminars

Each session will include two topics, with a short refreshment break. There will be a short presentation (of approximately 15 minutes) to introduce each part of the session, i.e. two presentations per session. I will introduce the first session.

Reading list

There are no textbooks for this course. Reading is listed below under the seminar topics, with key items being starred*. Seminar lists are of uneven length. This is partly because items are listed on first relevance; you are expected to see overlaps and go back to previous sections for items already referred to.

Lists are also extensive to help in writing essays and as a resource for dissertation topics. In case of any items being unavailable in the Library, look for substitutes or consult me - in some cases I may be able to lend you the relevant book or article.

Web links are underlined. If you are working with a  hard copy of this list, you will need to use the online version at the course website, www.sussex.ac.uk/Users/hafa3/sgp.htm. Using the online version is also recommended because you will also have access to Course NEWS and revisions as they happen.

The Library will also be putting this reading list online at http://catalogue.sussex.ac.uk. Once this is done, this will be the easiest way to access the list week by week. You will still need to refer to the course website for course updates.

Web materials

Because this course has a topical focus, much useful and especially up to date material is on the web rather than in traditional printed publications. I would like to incorporate further Internet materials into this course - please email me any that you find useful. 

I am editor of www.theglobalsite.ac.uk and my personal website is at http://www.sussex.ac.uk/Users/hafa3. Further materials and links relevant to this course will be found on both these sites.

Course essays

There will be two course essays, each 2000 words long, to be handed in at the sessions in weeks 5 and 9. You may write on any of the topics in the course, using the seminar questions as a guide, or you may produce your own topic relevant to the themes of the course.

Assessment

This course is assessed by a 5000 word term paper on a topic of your choice, related to the issues of the course. For preparations, see week 10 below.

Feedback

I am keen to hear your evaluations of this course and my teaching. Please raise difficulties as they arise. Course evaluation forms will be distributed in the penultimate week of term.

Contact

If you need to contact me when I am not in my office, email me or in case of urgency phone Shirley Stay. I shall set up an email list for the course early on in the term, so that we can all communicate with each other quickly.

References

I am always willing, like all members of faculty, to write references for every student on my courses. Please let me know if you would like to give my name as a referee. Supply me with any background information that might be useful in writing a reference, and keep me updated on your progress if you wish to use my name in future.
