This module builds practical research skills through one of two approaches to the study of utopias. The first option is a detailed and comparative appraisal of themes in utopia literature. The second option is the undertaking of a study of one or more "intended communities" and the practical application of utopia ideas. Both options will be pursued through the undertaking of an independent, but supervised and structured, project.
