Write an essay of about 3000 words on one of the topics suggested in the lecture notes for Week 1. These titles are just suggestions - if there is a topic that is not listed here which you would like to write about, please discuss it with us. We strongly encourage you to write an essay on a topic that reflects your own interests and background.For each essay title we have suggested one or two sources that should be a useful starting point. We expect you to use the library to find at least a couple of other sources. Essays will be assessed not only their analytical merit, but also on the quality and range of sources. If you have problems locating a source, please ask us - we can usually help.
Warning: There will be significant competition for library monographs. Please do not hog resources by taking out more than one book at a time unless there is a good reason. Do not repeat work that you have submitted previously or work you intend to submit as a project.
