Course Content
The course is specifically designed to equip you with a thorough understanding of the relevance of Critical Theory for the key contemporary liberal, post-Marxist and radical political theories that shape today´s world.
Modules taken in the School of Politics and International Relations will therefore enable you to apply critical theories to concrete political phenomena and to study methodologies of political research, such as:
o Globalisation
o The `War on Terror´
o Feminism
o International Human Rights
The dissertation provides practice in theoretically informed and independent research. The MA in Critical Theory and Politics therefore serves as an ideal preparation for doctoral studies in these areas.
Core modules include Subject and Sign or Sound and Political Theories, plus one module from Politics.
Current optional modules on this course include subjects such as:
o Mass Media
o Postcolonialisms
o Technology, Science, Life
o Poststructuralism and Writing
o Critiques of War
