I hope your written exams went well. We are moving right on to preparing the orals. From the point of view of British civilization, this is not a huge change. I am going to give a little more revision of history in class, and then move on to looking at sample "dossiers", which I will have printed tomorrow.
This week we have a class on Wednesday at 11am in L210, and a class on Thursday from 3.30pm to 6.30 pm (with a short break in the middle) in L315.
Our final class is on the 24th April at 11am in L210.
There are themes I have not really had time to revise in class. Here are classes from 2014 on the history of gay rights and identities in the UK. they are not quite up to date, as gay marriage has been authorized since (first in England, Wales and Scotland, and then in the Republic of Ireland - though it is still illegal in Northern Ireland).

I also recommend this lecture on the Liberal party by an (establishment but fair-minded) lecturer.
