The French Revolution
It can be difficult to reconcile the two most famous achievements of the French Revolution - the declaration of the rights of man and citizen of 1789 and the use of the guillotine to crush dissent in 1793-4. This module offers you an introduction to the complexities of this subject. First, we seek to grasp the eighteenth-century world in which the revolution took place; then we consider the principal features of the Revolution up to 1794 and identify the challenges that led to its radicalisation. The rest of the module invites you to think about three questions: 1) how committed were the revolutionaries to the idea of equality; 2) what explains the slide into Terror and execution in 1793; and 3) how deeply did the Revolution shape the daily life of French people? -

The Future Consumer
Understanding consumer behaviour and the trends in consumer lifestyles and sub-cultures, is at the core of creative marketing and management strategy. Being able to anticipate new consumer tribes and changing consumer segments against a set of demographic and psychographic classifications for example, enables consumer-centric decisions to be made by fashion brands.
The Future Consumer module will introduce you to the underlying theories and concepts that underpin change. New technologies and a fast-changing digital landscape are critically impacting consumer behaviour and motivations. You will learn to evaluate and challenge consumer segmentation approaches as well as the visualisation of consumer groups using primary research techniques. -

The Global Game: Football in the Modern Era
It is a cliché to say that football is a global game. But in the West the ‘beautiful game’ is still commonly engaged with as a primarily Western sport, dominated by the comings and goings of the Bundesliga, La Liga and, in particular, the English Premier League. This module gives you the chance to engage with the global game as a global game. This module will focus on four global regions – Latin America, Africa, Europe, and Asia – and their interconnections with one another.
The focus is firmly upon placing the development of football in its socio-political contexts. What explains the ways that football has been played, supported, and discussed in the twentieth and twenty first centuries? And what impact has football had on the societies that play, support, and discuss it? Through the consideration of class, gender, race, as well as colonialism, nationalism, globalisation, consumerism, and capitalism, football provides a fascinating insight into the specificities and generalities of the modern age and, hence, the modern world. -

The Government Lab
Governments everywhere encounter several challenges in carrying out their responsibilities and appear to be "stuck" in their delivery. Both wealthy nations and those in the Global South have difficulty implementing policies and providing for their citizens. Using evidence-based academic work, the module aims to provide students with a critical framework to understand and assess the main implementation difficulties that governments are currently confronting. We shall discuss the limits of the generalisability of the results to specific situations. -
