The Brexit module offers students an opportunity to explore some of the many

aspects of this momentous and highly complex issue. We will construct the

programme around your particular interests and the current state of your knowledge

(or lack of it). Space will be left for consideration of the current issues and

controversies that will inevitably emerge during the Brexit negotiations and

legislation while the workshop is running.

Our broad approach in dealing with a concrete Brexit issue will be to gain an

overview of the issue and what is thought to be at stake with it, noting and filling any

gaps in our factual knowledge. This would probably be followed by a discussion of

the arguments for and against any of the controversies involved in the issue, and,

finally, outlines of the more abstract ideas and theories that help to illuminate the

issue.

Sessions will not be lecture–based. Instead, they will involve student activities in

small–groups, using materials provided by the tutor, followed by whole class

discussions. Students will be able to submit work for assessment either as individuals,

16 pairs or small groups. The assessment assignments will be individually agreed

between students and the tutor.
