While week one of NCLC 130 works as a general introduction to the work of the Unit as a whole, each of the subsequent weeks probes a single, though wide-ranging, theme. On the left you will find links to overviews of each of those weeks.

Each overview outlines the intellectual framework of the week. It will also include links to any online material you need to research, and may offer additional information on particular authors or particular texts.

If you want a quick guide to the overarching shape of the Unit, we definitely recommend that you read through all five weekly overviews. We have tried to show how each week links to those which precede and follow it. We have also identified moments at which themes from other Units reappear in the new contexts of NCLC 130: The Social World. You will find a Word version of all five overviews below.

Please enjoy your reading. We enjoyed our writing.
