Overview
This course aims to analyse the theme of "crossing borders" in geographical, scientific, political, psychological, social, cultural and gender-orientated terms, building on literary skills which students have acquired through study at Level 1. It focuses on the human motivations behind, and the consequences of, various "crossings" as well as the exploration of otherness, secrets, mysteries and taboos.
