The Early Modern Body
In this module, students will explore a wealth of different texts and different discourses, from the literary to the scientific, on humanity and the human body in the early modern period. Starting with a glimpse of ancient and modern visions of the body, we will then discuss classic aspects of the subject from the humours and scientific anatomy to illness, sex, identity and death. As well as thinking about the body, the students will be introduced to a controlled variety of textual genres, e.g., scientific and philosophical treatises, didactic verse, satire, essays, plays, etc. In addition the students will encounter (and be encouraged to challenge) some classic theorists, such as Bakhtin, Elias and Laqueur. In all classes, the students will be pushed to think about how early modern attitudes to the body differ from, and are comparable to, those held today. -

The Ethics and Politics of Migration
Migration is a topic at the centre of political concerns on scales ranging from local to global. The central question that this module addresses is this:
How should transnational migration be governed?
It does so by focusing on the key normative debates surrounding migration in general and specific forms of migration in particular. There are three main parts to the module:
1)The political ethics of territorial borders which addresses issues concerning the right to regulate borders
2)The political ethics of migration which addresses the ethical claims of different kinds of migration
3)The political ethics of civic boundaries which addresses access to, and forms of, civic status in relation to migration.
Structured by these foci, the module will address the main positions, arguments and debates within the contemporary political theory of migration. -
