HIST3240 2027-28
Society and Politics in Victorian Britain Part 1
In this module we will examine the principal themes of the political and social history of Britain during the Victorian era (c.1830-1900). We will investigate the development of new forms of political participation and examine the ways that men and women across the nation helped to shape Victorian society. While the main focus of the module will be placed on the metropolitan Britain, we will explore how ‘Britian’ and ‘empire’ were not separate or distinct entities but rather were mutually constitutive and completely interconnected. Taken as a whole, the module will interrogate how metropolitan Britain was reconfigured and reimagined in the Victorian period, always in ways that were shaped by gender, race and class. -

LING3015 2027-28
Sociophonetic Project Module
This final year module builds on the theoretical grounding students gain in LING 2011 Variation and Change in English and the instrumental analysis techniques from LING 2008 Sound and Voice. Through a series of computer, lab-based sessions, students test elements of sociolinguistic theory, specifically the Variationist Paradigm, and develop a methodological sociophonetic toolkit, which equips them to design and conduct their own small-scale sociolinguistic project.
