This module aims to provide you with in-depth study of a topical issue, Sustainability, using a multi-disciplinary PBL approach. Over the course of the year we will examine four key problems using a variety of disciplinary approaches, and acquire a detailed understand of current debates and theories. The problems are, broadly, as follows:

How do we define sustainability?

What do we mean by sustainability? Who has the right to define it? Are accepted definitions equitable? Which behaviours are sustainable? Which are not?

What is the role of individuals in achieving sustainability?

Given the contested nature of the term sustainability, how do we engage the general public? What impact can individuals have? How is sustainability represented in culture? What is the role of education in achieving sustainability?

Can business be sustainable?

How and why do we measure sustainability? How has globalisation impacted on sustainability efforts? How do firms introduce sustainability in supply chains? What is the link between corporate social responsibility (CSR) and sustainability?  Are there alternatives to present economic models?

What are the challenges around population?

Is population a problem? How do we deal with migration? How can we make our cities sustainable? 

During the course of the twentieth century Italy changed beyond recognition from a rural, agricultural society to one of the world’s largest economies. This module traces the social, cultural and political development of Italy from the 1919 Treaty of Versailles to the rise of fascist dictatorship, World War II, the economic boom of the late 1950s and 60s, political extremism of the 1970s, through to contemporary issues such as immigration and recent years of economic and political crisis. It also examines how literary and cinematic works have constituted a response to these events.

The module aims to develop your understanding of these events and build an appreciation of how they have contributed to the nature and identity of Italy today so that you have a broad understanding of modern Italy in preparation for your year abroad and for future study of Italian culture. The module will also build your abilities in textual analysis, independent research skills and essay writing skills.
