Reinventing Democracy: Innovation, Participation and Power
All over the world the ideal of democratic government has higher support than at almost any time in human history. Yet many citizens of democracies are very frustrated with the way the democracy they live in works. It is one thing to recognise the contemporary problems of democracy but another to know what to do about them. The aim of the module is to familiarise students with the best known tools for improving democratic governance, and to consider if and how democracy can be reinvented.
This module uses a pedagogical approach based on the combination of in class argument mapping using pen and paper, and in class usage of AI agent to augment learning and writing. -

MATH3006 2027-28
Relativity, Black Holes and Cosmology
This is a module principally on Einstein's general theory of relativity, a relativistic theory of gravitation which explains gravitational effects as coming from the curvature of space-time. It provides a comprehensive introduction to material which is currently the subject of enthusiastic study from the theoretical and experimental standpoints.
The module starts by introducing the special theory of relativity in a manner designed to make the transition to the general theory more tractable. In addition, in order to understand the general theory fully, some familiarity with tensor calculus is required. This will involve some self-study material at the start of the module. The rest of the module will be devoted to a detailed investigation of the theory itself together with applications to classical black holes and cosmology. The theory is full of surprises and challenging new ideas and the module is designed to make these accessible to students from a wide variety of backgrounds. -

Remedies in Contract & Tort (AJP)
This version of Remedies in Contract & Tort is provided for you if you are studying the LLB (JD Pathway), the LLB Accelerated or the LLB Law with Psychology programmes. This module combines study of remedies in contract and in tort.
The module will be based on two problem questions, introduced at the start of the module. The intention is to use these as the focus of the discussion of the formal and real world approaches to remedies in contract and tort.
In addressing Contract, the explanation will focus on the difference between the orthodox basis for contract damages, i.e. the expectation interest, and the actual approach of the courts in hard cases e.g. the Blake case law on the measure of damages for deliberate breach. This will be combined with the empirical evidence on the limited use of these remedies in practice, compared to ‘self-help’ remedies that do not require court action, such as the ability to not perform.
In addressing Tort, the module will consider both the formal approach to compensation in tort, and the relationship between tort, the civil legal aid system and the purported rise of a ‘compensation culture’.
The module concludes by revisiting the problem questions set at the start of the semester in light of the issues considered in class. -
