These jobs are typically called support roles, and make up half of the workforce in schools.

History: How the Vote was Won - Campaigns for Democracy in Britain
An opportunity to explore the fascinating stories of movements and individuals who worked to achieve the right to vote in Britian. Our subjects range from Puritan soldiers in the 17th century to Welsh republicans in the 19th and women mill workers in the early 20th. We will meet Levellers, Chartists, Suffragists and Suffragettes as well as lesser-known groups. As we encounter campaigners divided over tactics, politics and ethics, we will see how the right to vote overlapped with other controversies and ask why advances and setbacks happened when they did.

Nature, Ecology & Permaculture: Does Nature Exist? Introduction to Ecocritical Philosophy and Theory
This course looks at the climate crisis through the lens of philosophy and critical theory. Using thinkers such as Carolyn Merchant, Gilles Deleuze and Felix Guatarri, Andres Malm, Jason Moore, Donna Haraway, Timothy Morton, and Michael Serres, we will critically assess the philosophical implications of present climate crisis. In specific we will look at two debates across the three session: the debates around the term ‘Anthropocene’ and the concept of nature. The course aims to introduce students to the provocative ways 20th and 21st century thinkers have thought about ecology, climate, and the present crisis, and to give them the tools to act on their own convictions from an informed perspective.

History: Highlights Of British Archaeology: Viking (800 AD) To High Middle Ages
Recent fieldwork allows us to define three distinct phases of Anglo-Scandinavian occupation: raiding, conquest and settlement. Sites at Repton and Torksey provide evidence of Viking Age winter camps from the Conquest Period, whereas spatial analysis of both artefact scatters and place names vividly demonstrate the areas of Norse settlement.
We shall be looking at major developments in shipping technology from the Saxon through to the High Middle Ages, without which none of these invasions, including 1066, would have been possible.
As part of our Medieval studies we shall examine the eclectic Medieval “Voynich Manuscript”. Using the illustrations we shall try to make some sense of it.
