Outline:

This module aims to provide a quantitative introduction to the physical nature of stellar atmospheres, to develop the basic theory of stellar structure through analytical models, and to provide an intermediate-level description of how stars evolve.

Aims:

Provide a quantitative introduction to the physical modelling of stellar atmospheres
	Develop the basic theory of stellar structure through analytical models
	Provide an intermediate-level description of how stars evolve
Teaching and Learning Methodology:

This course is delivered via weekly lectures supplemented by a series of workshops and additional discussion.

In addition to timetabled lectures, it is expected that students engage in self-study in order to master the material. This can take the form, for example, of practicing example questions and further reading in textbooks and online.

Human rights have taken on a central role in labour law debates in the context of economic globalisation and the decline of union power. This module investigates the implications and the potential of the trend to frame the issues arising between employers and workers in terms of human rights.



The rights concerned might be constitutional rights or rights found in regional or international declarations of human rights.

The module is not limited to a particular jurisdiction, but views the trend from a theoretical, comparative and international perspective. The module examines this approach in relation to some illustrative rights e.g. trade union rights, the right to work, the prohibition of slavery and servitude, the right to privacy, freedom of religion.

The cases have been selected as illustrations of issues that arise at work and how attempts to analyse them in terms of rights have been resolved (including, commonly, the rejection or suppression of a rights discourse). The module also includes readings that critically examine the human rights approach to labour law from policy and philosophical perspectives.
