Brief

Each seminar group will be given a broad subject-area (see further below). Your brief
is individually to develop a more specific interest within that area, investigate
examples and ideas, formulate a topic, and write your essay as the outcome of this
investigation.

In the seminars you will be able to discuss your idea with the tutor and your peers,
who will be investigating topics from the same period and subject area. You will learn
from each other (knowledge sharing), test your idea, get feedback and refine your
essay week by week. Attendance is vital.
