Understanding Population Change
This module is an introduction to the substantive concepts of demography, how populations change and grow or shrink, and the transitions that populations make in various stages of their development. An introduction to the past, present and future world population trends will be followed by a discussion on importance and implications of age structures, population momentum and population growth. The theoretical underpinnings of demography will be also covered, including the demographic transition, the fertility transition, proximate determinants of fertility, mortality, epidemiological and health transitions, "lowest-low" fertility, changing family structures, the second demographic transition and the mobility transition. Theories and evidence on preconditions and onset of transitions in different contexts, as well as on why and how transitions happen, will be provided. -

Understanding Research Design
This module will provide students with an understanding of the characteristics of the most common research designs in educational research. It will build on students’ understanding of research philosophies and provide students with a critical appreciation of the link between the aims and purposes of research and the associated research designs. The module will consider both quantitative and qualitative methodologies, and it will also highlight implications related to conducting educational research, including ethics, validity and reliability. It will encourage student to critically evaluate pieces of research, focusing on these implications as well as how the research design reflects the research aims and purposes. -

Understanding the Jewish Past
This module explores the rich variety of Jewish life and the development of Jewish experience, including Antisemitism and violence from the ancient to the contemporary world. It introduces students to ideologies and cultures of antisemitism and examines attempts to theorise antisemitism as an historical and contemporary phenomenon; it places antisemitism within wider histories of racism and racialised thought. It also examines ideas, processes and experiences of emancipation, looks at histories of Jewish/non-Jewish economic, social, cultural and intellectual exchange, and examines Jewish experiences of violence such as pogroms and expulsion and Jewish community responses to persecution.
