Modern Israel is the topic of this third level History Special Subject module, running over two semesters. Contemporary images of Israel are often informed by general political attitudes, and the many – different – realities of life in Israel tend to disappear behind these images. The history of the pre-state Jewish community in Palestine and of the State of Israel has to be seen in a variety of wider contexts: European interests in the Middle East; Jewish life in Europe and the rise of Zionism; the emergence of a Palestinian Arab political consciousness; the British Mandate and the League of Nations; World War I and its impact on the region; World War II and the Holocaust. These contexts will be discussed, but the focus of the course is Modern Israel itself – its history, its political situation, inner-Israeli divisions and the role of historical consciousness. Part 2 of the module will take a closer look at Israel’s cultural history.

This second part of the module takes a closer look at Israel’s cultural history and the development of a variety of aspects that allow us insight into the inner workings of the Israeli society and its many different divisions.

This module involves an in-depth study of a particular area in the History, Culture or Linguistics of the German, French, Spanish or Portuguese speaking world drawing from the resources available from the list of final year GERM, SPAN, FREN and POR modules being delivered in Southampton.

Subject areas are chosen in collaboration with the module coordinators of the relevant GERM, PORT, SPAN, FREN modules and the MLang Coordinator. The focus of the study is negotiated between the student and the module coordinator and recorded on the student’s module selection form by the end of week 3. This module provides students on MLang Spanish, Portuguese, French and German programmes with a highly supervised “bite” of research on a topic of their choosing within the scope of the modules available on the particular programme and with access to the full of resources which are available to students studying those modules face to face.

Applying Widening Participation Policy, the first module in the Postgraduate Certificate in Widening Participation and Evaluation, gives an overview of the policy landscape relating to widening access and participation in Higher Education. It provides a critical lens to examine the history and development of WP, considering both the rationale from which policy emerged and the political context upon which it sits.

The module will offer a two-day learning retreat at the beginning of the semester, hosted both online and in person, at the University of Southampton. We will provide a range of flexible, hybrid activities for you to be welcomed by module and programme staff, your peer mentors and fellow students; providing you with the opportunity to further develop your professional networks. You will be encouraged to explore the interplay between policy, theory and practice by examining key policy initiatives, concepts and contexts, analysing the effectiveness of their application over time, which we will continue to critically consider throughout the rest of the semester through a series of recorded lectures. Lectures are complemented by live and interactive seminars supporting learners to better understand the context within which you are working, enabling you to situate your current practice.

By the end of the module you will be able to synthesise your own understanding of WP, equipped with skills to critically examine both policy and practice to develop your own politically cognisant practice. Consequently, you will build confidence in examining your own practice, within your role, whether that is in designing and delivering WP initiatives, developing strategy or shaping organisational change. Furthermore, whatever level you are working at, you will be encouraged to use these learnings to influence policy in the context of your own HEI primarily whilst also simultaneously exploring how that could be applied nationally and internationally if you have such ambitions.
