| Accounting for Death in War: Separating Fact from Fiction | RoyalHolloway University of London | Calculating the number of deaths during a war is a difficult, but necessary, task - having accurate information is crucial for political and societal debates and decisions. On this course you will explore the methods currently used to account for war deaths and then apply these methods to particular wars. Along the way you will debunk some widely circulated war-death claims. You will focus mainly on direct, violent deaths but will also cover some estimates of non-violent deaths caused indirectly by war. | Début : 07/01/2019 3 semaines |
| Cultural Heritage and the City | European University Institute and Global Governance Programme | Cultural heritage is usually discussed in national or religious terms: we speak of Italian culture, Greek civilization, Islamic art, and so on. But today cities are creating their own heritage through museums, galleries, markets of artistic goods, and urban networks. Cities project themselves as cultural hubs representing and connecting entire regions, for example Doha and the UAE, Singapore and Southeast Asia, Los Angeles and North America. Using these and other examples, through this course you’ll explore exactly what is meant by urban cultural heritage and key concepts related to it. | Début : 07/01/2019 3 semaines |

You will also have the opportunity to practise skills to help you expand your vocabulary for an academic setting, including tools to help you pronounce new words. | Début : 14/01/2019 2 semaines |
| Jane Austen: Myth, Reality and Global Celebrity | University of Southampton | Jane Austen went from being a moderately successful anonymous novelist in her own time to a global celebrity in ours.

You will learn about her origins in Hampshire, uncovering her formative years, and the society she lived in, asking how Austen’s location, background and reading influenced her novels. You will also consider the ways her own contemporaries read and responded to her, and her place in the modern canon of world literature today, 200 years after she died. | Début : 14/01/2019 3 semaines |
