Teaching methods include:
• A weekly screening of films
• A weekly lecture
• A weekly seminar
• Lecturer-led analysis and discussion of sources
Learning activities include:
• Preparatory reading before each seminar
• Participation in group and class discussion
• Independent reading of the sources provided and of related secondary works
• Independent research of additional information and source materials
• Short group presentation
• Field trip to local cinema to see a recently released women’s film or film by a female director. Participation on this trip is not a formal requirement of the module, though you are strongly encouraged to attend.
Lecture elements will provide you with general knowledge and understanding about chronology, sources and key concepts. This will be consolidated through readings and seminar discussions of primary and secondary source material. Discussion in seminars will help you to develop your own ideas about a topic, to analyse a range of source material and to articulate a critical argument
