This course offers a broad introduction to Palestine, from the nineteenth century to the present. Drawing connections between empire, settler colonialism and genocide, these lectures place Palestine at the centre of global political struggle — and ask what the ongoing Nakba (catastrophe) means for how we understand justice, solidarity and liberation in our own time. 

This course introduces the idea that British policing has its roots in Britain's imperial history. By exploring how policing evolved from its colonial origins, the course enables us to see how capital accumulation, racial hierarchy and repression of dissent are all characteristics of the police and prison systems, operating in varying forms.

This course examines war through an anti-capitalist, anti-imperialist and feminist lens.

What is the scale of war and why does war happen? In what ways is war inevitable under capitalism? How does war get normalised in our daily lives? And, most importantly, how can we resist systems of violence and oppression and fight for a world based on justice, peace, and freedom?

Not everyone who calls themselves a feminist agrees about what feminism really is. Leading feminist writer Lola Olufemi invites us to explore feminism as a method for analysing and resisting capitalism.

Exploring feminism's diverse and rich history, this course highlights its potential as a political movement which can meaningfully transform the world through material resistance.
