French Levels 6+7: Translation Skills (LCFR0021)

The course is designed for very advanced level non-linguist students to enable them to produce accurate translations from a range of subjects and text types. The course covers translation skills development mainly from English into French (although some translation into English will also be practised), with the objective of producing different types of written translations, some of them relating back to the student's degree subject. 

The course will cover fundamental theoretical concepts of translation but with the focus on teaching practical translation skills, making students aware of linguistic and cultural differences in subject-related areas. The course will enhance knowledge and use of linguistically complex structures (a variety of styles and registers from a range of authentic academic material).  Various transferable skills will also be further developed.

Key Concepts in Social Anthropology (IRDR0032)

Through the comparative study of human culture and societies around the world, Social Anthropology attempts to make sense of the everyday complexities of social life. The module will help students appreciate the extent of human diversity around the world as they study for a degree in Global Humanitarian Studies. In this module students will learn how anthropologists approach different cultures around the world, how they understand the concept of culture itself and its role in defining humanity. The module introduces students to the methods and theories used by social anthropologists, particularly the process of ethnographic fieldwork, the importance of understanding researchers’ positionality, and how it can influence anthropologists’ theoretical approaches to and claims about the social world. Firstly, you will gain an overview of some of the key concepts and principles underpinning anthropological approaches to socio-cultural life. Secondly, you will apply these key concepts and principles to exploring specific social and cultural themes, such as kinship, economy, politics, religion, race and colonialism.
