Youth Cultures and Youth Movements: Sociological and Historical Perspectives (EDPS0026)

In this module, students critically engage with historical and sociological debates about youth movements and youth cultures around the world. This comparative approach highlights how the depictions and experiences of young people have changed over time, and yet at each stage, young people have been identified as a ‘problem’ group. We also examine how young people have responded to these labels by creating their own political movements and sub-cultures via protests, social activism, music, fashion, etc.

Some of the topics we cover include:

Youth engagement in traditional politics (or lack thereof)
	How young people are reinventing political activism
	The politics of fashion, music, film and leisure (aka sub-culture theory)
	Digital youth cultures, and
	Far right movements and young people

Education for Sustainable Development: Perspectives from Policy and Practice (CPAS0135)

This fully online module focuses on the evolution of policies and practices related to education for sustainable development (ESD) and their relationship to the discourses around global learning and global citizenship education. This is an educational area of increasing importance globally, particularly with the focus climate change and other environmental crises and debates about the relationship between humans and other living beings. The module will consider how educators to be able to support learners in navigating their understanding and responses to these issues. This module will encourage critical engagement with theoretical perspectives on approaches to ESD, and give students the opportunity to examine the strengths and limitations of various international policy and practice initiatives around education for sustainable development and their relevance for their own practice. 

This module will enable students to:

	Identify and reflect critically on the connections between education for sustainable development and global citizenship
	Develop a deep and critical understanding of diverse perspectives on the relationships between humans and the environment, and how education can respond to these.
	Critically analyse examples of policy and educational practice related to education for sustainable development and develop skills in writing policy
	Critically reflect on how your learning about education for sustainable development relates to your, or wider, educational practice
This module is assessed through a 5000-word written task to produce a policy on ESD for an organisation of a student's choice.
