This module explores the Holocaust as a problem of public pedagogy. It examines the establishment of Holocaust museums in both Jewish and non-Jewish communities between 1945 and the present. It treats questions of memorialisation and commemoration in a variety of different communities and case studies. It examines the Holocaust as a problem of education, in both schools’ settings and civil society initiatives. It explores the impact of the digital revolution on issues of communication, considering the evolution of Holocaust pedagogy and awareness in the post-survivor age. This module encourages students to develop their own communication activity.

This module examines both canonical and non-canonical representations of the Holocaust in the post-war world. It examines responses from survivor, victim and exile communities, from former perpetrator societies and from others; it explores the interplay of creative, affective, cultural, commercial and political logics in the evolution of such works after 1945; it asks after moments of controversy and conflict in relation to particular acts of representation. It stresses both the authenticity of survivors’ voices as they were articulated in various acts of testimony and the wider presence of political, institutional, cultural and other factors in shaping post-war understandings of the Holocaust that were always partial, anchored in their particular presents, and open to appropriation and misappropriation by others.

The module covers several major topics in genetics including the molecular principles of genetic variation, different patterns of Mendelian inheritance, epigenetics and genetic evolution within a disease setting. The module will introduce how model organisms can be genetically manipulated to model disease and investigate gene function. Genetic approaches to the development of therapies will be considered.

Most of current crises and conflicts have their roots in the history of empires – from the invasion of Ukraine by Russia to the wars in the Middle East. This module will introduce you to the ways in which empires shape our understanding of the ‘Other,’ through the example of the modern Jewish experience. It will enable you to understand the evolving political, socio-economic and legal position of Jews in the British and French colonial empires from the late 18th century to today.
This module will provoke you to think about questions such as: How has otherness been constructed in Western Europe from the late 18th century to today? How did race and religion intersect in modern Western European empires? What was the interplay between antisemitism and colonialism? What role did Jews play as both agents and subjects of empire? How did colonisation and decolonisation impact past and present migration patterns?
We will examine the construction of the imperial Other and Jewish responses to othering, including migration and Zionism. The module will also decentre narratives of the Holocaust and look at its non-western European context. We will analyse the complex relations between Jews, the imperial state and local populations, enabling you to gain a critical understanding of how contemporary debates on Muslim-Jewish relations in Europe emerged.
By engaging with a wide variety of textual and visual sources – legal documents and press but also travelogues, films, petitions, caricatures, and art – we will unpack the relationship between Jews and empires and get acquainted with key concepts in the study of empires.

This module will introduce you to the ways in which empires shape our understanding of the ‘Other,’ through the example of the modern Jewish experience. It will enable you to understand the evolving political, socio-economic and legal position of Jews in the Russian and Soviet continental empires, from the late 18th century to its collapse.
The module will provoke you to think about questions such as: How did the Russian empire and Soviet Union deal with religious and ethnic difference? How did modernisation interplay with imperialism and antisemitism? How did Jews negotiate their identity in the Russian and Soviet empires?
We will examine the construction of the imperial Other and the way the Russian and Soviet power responded to the so-called ‘Jewish question’ from the end of the 18th century to Stalin. We will also analyse the Jewish responses to othering, including assimilation, migration and nationalisms. We will explore the complex relations between Jews, the imperial state and local populations, complicating your understanding of anti-Jewish violence and antisemitism in Eastern Europe. The module will decentre narratives of the Holocaust and look at its eastern European context.
