Undergraduate Modules: POL3115 - Reading Politics

Level: 3
Credits: 20

Module Leader: Professor Graham Harrison

This module is based on a full reading of five small (circa 150pp) but influential texts that cover core themes in modern Politics such as morality, power, and representation. Each text receives two weeks' attention: one to review the text's content and key arguments; and a second to discuss, interpret and evaluate. The module gives students a unique opportunity to consider key politics texts in themselves and in context. The texts are only loosely connected; the idea is not to offer an integrated set of books which constitute a genre; rather it is to provide students with access to secular modern texts on core Politics themes.
