Undergraduate Module Descriptor

SSIM900: Contemporary Debates in Security, Conflict and Justice

This module descriptor refers to the 2021/2 academic year.

Module Content

Syllabus Plan

The unit will be taught in three intensive days split into thematic sessions. Below is an indicative list but may be subject to change: 
Session 1 (1 day): Introduction to the pathway; Violence 
Session 2 (2 days): Ethnicity; Gender 
Session 3 (2 days): Human rights; Governance and sovereignty 
 A typical workshop day will include: 
• Introductory session mapping the broad contours of the topic; 
• Different disciplinary perspectives presented through lecturers from a range of disciplines across the DTC partners; 
• Facilitated seminar/workshop to debate particular issues from an interdisciplinary perspective including, where appropriate, presentations from existing PhD researchers; and, 
• Concluding session 
All students will be expected to attend in person; virtual learning is not commensurate with the small group expected for this unit. Lecturers will be encouraged to attend in person but, where necessary, may deliver their presentations virtually.

Formative Assessment

...and this table provides further details on the summative assessments for this module.

Re-assessment

Re-assessment takes place when the summative assessment has not been completed by the original deadline, and the student has been allowed to refer or defer it to a later date (this only happens following certain criteria and is always subject to exam board approval). For obvious reasons, re-assessments cannot be the same as the original assessment and so these alternatives are set. In cases where the form of assessment is the same, the content will nevertheless be different.
