For the United States, the turn of the twentieth century was a turbulent, transformative time: an age of embattled political parties and insurgent Populists, mass immigration and overseas war, millionaire capitalists and impoverished farmers, all set to the ragged rhythms of African-American popular music (otherwise known as Ragtime). If this sounds familiar, it is because it is: the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries set the template for American life as we know it. The turn of the century witnessed the rebirth of a nation devastated by bloody civil war. In this module, we will look at some of the most important issues of the day, including the wars waged against guerrilla fighters in the Philippines and American Indians in the West, the fight for women’s rights and the campaign for prohibition, the rise of populist politics, the growth of mass consumerism, the segregation and disenfranchisement of African Americans in the South, and the emergence of black ghettoes in the North. Proceeding thematically, rather than chronologically, the module looks at the period 1877 to 1920 from a number of different angles, considering the ways in which ideas of class, gender, and race helped to shape the rebuilding of the United States. Throughout, we will examine the impact of this process of national reconstruction upon American life and thought. Americans were troubled and excited in equal measure as small towns, Victorian values, and comforting familiarity gave way to big cities, political radicalism, and the fevered squall of the jazz trumpet.

This module provides comprehensive coverage of the main features of railway engineering and operations, including topics ranging from system planning through to the impacts of noise and vibration. During the module students will develop an appreciation of the distinctive features of engineering in the railway context, while also making links with more general engineering and transport planning practice. The module will combine theoretical analysis with practical applications to allow students to understand how railway engineering and operational principles are used in the real world. The module takes advantage of the University of Southampton’s substantial experience and expertise in railway research, and will make use of case studies based on recent and ongoing research projects.

This module is about exploring English education and the changes that lead it to exist in its current form. In studying this module, you will develop your skills in identifying and discussing the impact of the different changes in English education. Within the module, you will explore policy reforms and curriculum changes, historical context, pedagogical shifts, innovative teaching practices and more.

This module explores issues at the intersection of philosophy, politics, and economics, focusing on questions about the relevance of preference and wellbeing for government decision-making. What are preferences? How might they be relevant to good government decision-making? What is wellbeing? How might it be relevant to good government decision-making, and how might it connect with, or compete with, considerations to do with our preferences? What other considerations feed into government decision making that might compete with, or even undermine, these considerations? We will explore these questions both in the abstract, but also with concrete test cases - these will vary from year to year but might include topics such as overall tax rates, inheritance tax, public health interventions, and questions about healthcare spending priorities.
