American Political Thought
For many people, the phrase “American political thought” either has an obvious meaning – some version of liberal democracy, surely – or it is a contradiction in terms – America has politics, but seems to exercise little thought. This module sets the record straight. We will dive into a unique blend of cultural and political history, contemporary politics, political ideas – a blend that, as we shall see, allowed an improbable candidate like Donald Trump to win a presidential election. This module will refute the sceptic and show that American political thought is a significant intellectual tradition that actually goes back to the 17th Century. However, as we will see, this tradition is never developed through abstract scholarly theorising. It is developed by flesh and blood political actors in actual political circumstances. This is a political theory module for those who like their theory to be genuinely political. We will study ideas in action – how they emerge through political action and how they continue to be shaped and transformed by the challenges of political events and changing social circumstances. -

An ambivalent asylum: the histories and memories of refugees in early twentieth-century France
Where does the idea of a stateless person come from? Why did France become one of the foremost nations for refugee reception? How were refugees fleeing from persecution in other parts of Europe treated in France? Why did France establish a system of ‘concentration camps’ for refugees? This module offers you the opportunity to gain an in-depth awareness of how asylum was offered, compromised and refused during an era of mass forced displacement.
You will be able to follow the experiences of various groups of refugees from the First World war through to the end of the Second World War. You will then explore the dynamics underlying the inclusion and exclusion of refugees from the commemorative practices of WWII in contemporary France. This module will appeal to students with an interest in France and European history more generally as well as those who wish to gain an understanding of how basic refugees’ rights developed during a key phase of mass forced displacement.
