Education, Conflict and Peace (EDPS0244)

This module explores complex interactions between education, armed conflict and peace. It critically examines the role of education in production and prevention of socio-political tensions in low and middle-income countries. Students will be provided an opportunity to critically explore political and sociological theories in explaining the role of education in reproducing socioeconomic divisions as well in producing a critical mass of learners who resist inequalities and social injustices. The multitude of ways violent conflicts and state fragility impact upon children and the underprivileged communities are also considered. The module also explores challenges around educational aid in conflict-affected environments and encourages critical debates in and theorisation of education in post-conflict recovery, reconstruction and peacebuilding. Equity, social justice and social transformation will be the crosscutting themes across all sessions.

This module aims to cover the basic and applied sciences underpinning Endodontics as well as the clinical evidence based upon which the discipline is founded. The overview will embrace clinical Endodontics, encompassing pathogenesis of pulpal and periapical disease, other endodontic problems such as tooth cracks and fractures, their diagnosis, treatment planning and appropriate classical and contemporary treatment modalities. A rational approach to decision-making supported by literature evidence where possible, will be emphasised and evidence for this sought in the required coursework of two researched review essays.

This component assesses and encourages the assimilation of newly developed technical skills and theoretical knowledge into clinical practice. It has two elements, based on the clinical cases managed by the postgraduates. Each postgraduate orally presents selected cases to their peers and lectures, who are invited to critique and comment on these in a structures way. In addition, a fully documented case log describing the management and outcomes of 15 of their best cases will be assessed by examiners.
