This unit provides you with the tools to look at the world in a new light, investigating a range of differing perspectives, such as those of nationalism, feminism, conservatism, post-structuralism, Marxism, Taoism, narcissism and the traumatised. The unit makes a case for the lifelong benefits of wide and critical reading. It is committed to deep thinking and learning through engaging with key texts that examine ideas across a range of cultures. Focussed engagement with texts will improve your critical thinking skills, stimulate your curiosity in new areas and encourage your creativity, as you closely read and imaginatively respond to texts, movements and their at times provocative ideas.
