This module investigates built works of architecture in early-modern and modern Britain, and is organised around fieldwork visits to a limited selection of buildings/landscapes in London and Oxford, each of which will be examined in some depth. From the selected buildings/landscapes being visited, students can expect to gain a general knowledge of British architecture during the period – such as in the use and meaning of materials, or the ways in which architects have designed the spaces inside and outside of buildings.

Art and Visual Culture in Modern South Asia (HART0172)

This module examines developments in painting, sculpture, architecture, photography, film, museums, and exhibitionary culture across the Indian subcontinent from 1850 to the present through modalities of the nation and national identity in South Asia. This was a dynamic period in the region’s long history that saw the rise and fall of colonial empires, the emergence of nationalism(s), global conflict and crises of territory, migration and displacement. In addition to mapping the major centers of South Asian art and discourse in the twentieth century, this module will probe the artistic achievements of pioneering South Asian modernists, alongside contemporary voices to open a window into the complex social, political and cultural coordinates across which histories of art and modernism in South Asia emerged and continue to unfold. This module will also probe the role of art and art history in the formation of Indian and Pakistani nationalism in the early twentieth century.

Understanding Specific Learning Difficulties (Dyslexia) (PHDE0059)

By the end of this module, you should have an enhanced knowledge, understanding and awareness of theoretical models of the processes underlying printed word recognition and production in skilled readers and spellers, and the ways in which these processes might develop in children. You will develop the ability to understand and critically evaluate the proposed causes and explanations of specific learning difficulties (dyslexia) and the implications of these for practice with children. You will gain an enhanced knowledge and understanding of research based theoretical perspectives and have the ability to apply this knowledge to an analytical understanding of the processes used by children struggling with reading and spelling. Over the course of the module you will develop skills of self-reflection in applying new knowledge and understanding to practice.
