Did Globalization Fail Britain
Did Globalization Fail Britain?This course investigates the causes and effects of the British backlash to globalization. The course is organized into two distinct parts. In part one we look at the dynamics of globalization and why it is so disruptive in most nations. In this section of the class, we look at the early years of the global regime, at the role of international institutions, the welfare and job shift over time and then finally, on the political-populist backlash. In the second half of the course, we look specifically at Britain and the origins and effects of Brexit. We review the history and politics of Britain and the EU and then the political campaign for exit. To better understand popular support for Brexit, we will look closely at public opinion polls before and after the vote. The class meets twice a week for 90-minute sessions. Students will write two papers, one for each section of the course.

Molecular Genetics Ethics and Practice
The generation of transgenic animals - including worms, fruit flies, mice, sheep, or humans - is celebrated cornerstone of modern biological research, and has revolutionized medicine. This course focuses on teaching the scientific principles enabling animal transgenesis, including genetics, molecular and cell biology and animal husbandry, through directed reading - including primary scientific papers discussed in tutorials - and through lively in-class presentations and discussion. These activities will prepare students for hands-on activities in student-directed independent research projects in the latter half of the course, and enable students to produce and characterize transgenic fruit flies. The course will emphasize the ground-breaking contributions of scientists in the U.K., including those trained or currently at Oxford, to the principles and practice of animal genetics. These contributions will be highlighted through field trips to the Oxford Natural History Museum and British Natural History Museum. We will also discuss important ethical issues raised by transgenesis in animals, and recent controversial examples in humans. This course has no prerequisites.

Museum Anthropology and Digital Technologies
Engage with material cultural theory debates of the late 20th century and examine the impact of the digital revolution on the way we exhibit culture two decades into the third millennium. Reflect upon the transformation of the politics and poetics of museum display analysing readings and exhibitions from the 1990s to the present day. Digital interfaces in our daily lives have altered the way we seek information and the way we communicate with each other. What have we learned about representing cultures in museum spaces and what have we put into practice? Examine contemporary issues and contentions relating to cultural display in relation to exhibits in Western art and anthropology museums.
