ECO1015: Foundations of Economics 1 | ECON 1116: Principles of Microeconomics | SI, AD | 4.00 | No | Foundations of Economics 1 is the title of our new Level 1 semester 1 CORE (Curriculum Open-access Resource for Economics) module for non-specialists. CORE is the result of a huge global collaboration to change the way introductory economics is taught; to ensure it is student-centred and motivated by real-world problems and real-world data. Many students studying for degrees in other disciplines are drawn to economics so that they can develop their analytical skills and also engage with policy debates on issues such as environmental sustainability, inequality, the future of work, financial instability, and innovation. But, when they study economics, they find that their introductory course is arid and theoretical, and designed primarily for students who want to study the subject as their major. The result is that students from other disciplines often find themselves studying a quantitative and analytical economics module that is only minimally social in content and downplays the insights of other disciplines, or a social or business oriented module that gives them little training in modelling, or in quantitative scientific methods. In contrast, this module draws on the work of the global CORE team to offer students who are not specialist economists an in-depth introduction to economics and the global economy that is both analytical and real-world. The module focuses throughout on evidence on the economy, from around the world, and from history. It is motivated by questions — how can we explain what we see? | 11,280 | Foundations of Economics 1 | ECO1015 | Foundations of Economics 1 | ECON 1116 | Principles of Microeconomics | 12 | 131.

PAI1007: Perspectives on Politics | POLS 2332: Contemporary Political Thought | 4.00 | No | This module aims to introduce students to the broad field of political theory and philosophy, a necessary and integral component of the study of politics generally. Taking a contemporary approach to the subject, the module stresses the vital importance of theoretical enquiry for understanding, analysing, and criticizing everyday socio-political life. Students are therefore introduced to key concepts and problems in the study of politics, including the meaning of democracy, the fraught relation between the individual and society, and the contested nature of power and political authority. In exploring these themes, students come to an appreciation of the complexities surrounding our everyday notions of democratic rule, freedom, justice, citizenship, government, and power. | 11,287 | Perspectives on Politics | PAI1007 | Perspectives on Politics | POLS 2332 | Contemporary Political Thought | 12 | 27.

SOC1001: Rethinking Society | SOCL 1101: Introduction to Sociology | SI, DD | 4.00 | No | This module offers a general introduction to the discipline of sociology for those with no experience of studying sociology before. Its primary objective is to initiate students to sociological thinking. Sociology does not rely on our subjective experience and general ideas commonly shared withing the society (beliefs, customs, traditions, values, norms); its critical way of thinking and its methods allow us to discover aspects of social life that most people are unaware of. This will be done through a diversity of topics such as social class, suicide, race, gender, disability, globalisation, violence and other social phenomena. The module will provide a background for those intending to study sociology in the second and third years, but also acts as a stand-alone sociology course for those who do not intend to study it further. | 11,289 | Rethinking Society | SOC1001 | Rethinking Society | SOCL 1101 | Introduction to Sociology | 12 | 276.

ENL1001: Introduction to English Language | LING 1449: English Now and Then | ND, IC | 4.00 | No | This module offers a broad introduction to key topics in English language. It lays the foundations for the systematic study of the language in all its diversity. Among the topics covered are: common beliefs about “good” and “bad” accents and dialects; phonetics, syntax and morphology; and the social, situational and geographical variation in language, with an emphasis on the history and development of the English language. Another important area of inquiry is how language works in cultural contexts and intersects with issues of power and gender. In summary, the module enables students to move beyond ‘common-sense’ ideas about language towards the academic and analytic perspective appropriate for university level. | 11,291 | Introduction to English Language | ENL1001 | Introduction to English Language | LING 1449 | English Now and Then | 12 | |
DRA1001: Introduction to Theater | THTR 1101: Introduction to Theatre | EI, IC | 4.00 | No | This module is about theatre and performance as live events taking place on the material stage. This module will examine theatre and live performance by drawing on a wide historical and geographical range of theatre practices: from ancient Greece to the contemporary stage; from Ireland to South Africa and Japan. You will explore several key themes concerned with theatre’s role and relation to myth, ritual, conflict, memory, space and the body. Where relevant you will also attend a number of live performance which will be part of the curriculum. | 11,292 | Introduction to Theater | DRA1001 | Introduction to Theater | THTR 1101 | Introduction to Theatre | 12 | 269.

Workshops will introduce students to the methods of key practitioners and will prepare them for the creation of their own studio-based, group performance. Workshops will emphasise the importance of warm-ups for theatre practitioners, and class exercises, improvisations, and mini-projects will be conducted in an environment of research, experimentation and reflection. This is a practice-as-research class in which attendance and responsible time-keeping are compulsory. Students are not only responsible for their own progress, but have a strong impact upon each other’s. | 11,293 | Introduction to Performing | DRA1003 | Introduction to Performing | THTR 1130 | Introduction to Acting | 12 | |

This online seminar will focus on global citizenship and cultural difference in the twenty-first century. We will begin by defining terms such as global citizenship, cosmopolitanism, pluralism, and culture. You will then critically analyze and apply these ideas as you engage in personal reflection and team-based problem- solving, connecting issues you encounter during your own global experience in your host site with broader dynamics of globalization, migration, positionality, power, and privilege. | 11,387 | Global Learning Experience | GBST 1012 | Global Learning Experience | GBST 1012 | Global Learning Experience | 12 | ||

PAI1006 : World Politics: Conflict and Peace | POLS 1160: International Relations | SI | 4.00 | No | The module examines the development of the international system and raises questions about how and whether this system is changing in light of processes of globalisation. International relations theories which relate to state and territory, sovereignty and order will be introduced, as well as issues of war and conflict in its broader sense. World Politics also offers an introduction into specific global regions: Europe, the Americas, Asia, and Africa. The module is designed to acquaint students with (1) the conceptual tools used in the study of international relations, (2) the historical debates within IR and (3) an introduction into regional regimes and affairs in a globalized world. Subjects will be covered in an attempt to provide an overview of a large field of study. The module is built around an introduction, which highlights the key concepts of the study of world politics and the theoretical debates in the field. The second half of the module has a more specific focus on particular issue areas with thematic sessions relating to power and conflict, institutions and cooperation, war and peace. Particular attention will be devoted to the question of how all of these are influenced by processes of globalisation. | 11,475 | World Politics: Conflict and Peace | PAI1006 | World Politics: Conflict and Peace | POLS 1160 | International Relations | 12 | |

Ethnographic accounts by Greek and Latin writers are used alongside the evidence of archaeology, art, and language to explore the history of the Celts (e.g. contact with the Mediterranean world, migration, conquest by Rome), their religion, and society, and, indeed, the very nature of 'Celticity' in this period. | 11,711 | Celtic Civilisation 1A | CELTCIV1001 | Celtic Civilisation 1A | CLTR 1990 | Culture Course Elective (Celtic Civilisation 1A) | 12 | ||
