  • Bachelor of Civil Law
    Course Information Sheet for entry in 2016-17 Bachelor of Civil Law About the course The Bachelor of Civil Law (BCL) is a world-renowned taught graduate course in law, designed to serve outstanding law students from common law backgrounds. The academic standard is significantly higher than that required in a first law degree, and only those with outstanding first law degrees are admitted. You will choose four courses from a list of around 40 different options, including a dissertation option. All options are taught by a combination of seminars and tutorials apart from the dissertation option, which involves one-to-one sessions with an assigned supervisor. Seminars are normally led by a senior member of academic staff but are typically interactive in nature, and you will be expected to participate in the discussions arising from the material covered. Tutorials involve an intensive discussion between a tutor and two or three students, providing an opportunity for you to present your ideas and discuss your work with leading academics. Typically, seminars will introduce you to a particular area of study and familiarise you with general concepts and ideas which will then be investigated in greater depth in the tutorials. For most tutorials you will be expected to write an essay, which typically will be marked and returned to you at the next tutorial. Outside of the seminars and tutorials, you will be expected to read extensively in order to acquire the necessary knowledge to engage with course material at an appropriate level. All course options are examined by timed examinations at the end of the course - with the exception of the Jurisprudence and Political Theory option, which is examined by assessed essay, and the dissertation option.

  • Global Conference for Jewish Museums
    UPHEAVAL GLOBAL CONFERENCE FOR JEWISH MUSEUMS COUNCIL OF AMERICAN JEWISH MUSEUMS ASSOCIATION OF EUROPEAN JEWISH MUSEUMS APRIL 2021 Throughout the past year of the pandemic, Jewish museums have faced unprecedented challenges and have responded. They have worked together in new configurations, have been resources for new communities, and are envisioning new ways to be museums for the present and the future. The Council of American Jewish Museums is proud to present its first online, global conference for Jewish museums­­­—developed in partnership with the Association of European Jewish Museums. This year, we are collectively unpacking the topic of Upheaval—recognizing that our profession has been greatly impacted by pressing issues and the crises of our times. At the same time, however, museums are creating their own upheavals—through innovation, reconfiguration, and approaches that will reshape our work for years to come. GLOBAL CONFERENCE FOR JEWISH MUSEUMS | APRIL 2021 2 PROGRAM TUESDAYUPHEAVAL APRIL 20 11:00 AM EDT WELCOME 11:10 AM EDT JEWISH MUSEUMS: CONTEXT MATTERS For this year’s program we have come together as a global community: to address common challenges and opportunities, to build a collegial community, and to articulate implications for the worldwide field of Jewish museums. While Jewish museums around the world share many mutual concerns, each one operates within its own geographic, political, and social realities. This session explores, from various angles, how context profoundly shapes the work of Jewish museums—from Tel Aviv and Sydney, to Hohenems and Washington, DC. Speakers AVRIL ALBA Consulting Scholar, Holocaust Memorial Museum–Sydney Jewish Museum KARA BLOND Executive Director, Capital Jewish Museum HANNO LOEWY Director, Jewish Museum Hohenems DAN TADMOR CEO, ANU—Museum of the Jewish People Moderated by BARBARA KIRSHENBLATT-GIMBLETT Ronald S.

The impact of COVID-19 means that this year’s perspective is gloomier. Over the summer we initiated a redundancy programme for our non-academic staff in response to the financial impact and the operational consequences of the pandemic. We also spent a great deal of time planning for the return of students for Michaelmas Term with as much attention to sustaining the positive aspects of their experience as public health restrictions will allow. Unsurprisingly there is an atmosphere of uncertainty about how the external context will influence what happens. We recognise that we are unlikely to see a full return to anything like our previous normality in the course of this academic year. However, I do need to record changes in the Fellowship in the usual way.
