Introduction This unit will help you identify the value and best ways of note taking. It is based on listening to an audio file that contains a discussion between teaching team members of D218 Social Policy: Welfare, Power and Diversity, a current Open University course. It was originally 23 minutes in length and was recorded in 1998. This material is from our archive and is an adapted extract from Social policy: Welfare power and diversity (D218) which is no longer taught by The Open
Introduction This unit will help you understand the expressions social construction and social constructionism. These terms are used in the study of the Social Sciences and, in particular, in relation to Social Policy. The materials are primarily an audio file, originally 28 minutes in length and recorded in 2001. This material is from our archive and is an adapted extract from Social policy: welfare, power and diversity (D218) which is no longer taught by The Open University. If you want to
1 The problem with crime: Glasgow Sean Damer examines the problem of crime in relation to Glasgow. The audio programme was recorded in 2001. Participants in the audio programme were: Sean Damer Staff Tutor in Politics for The Open University, Scotland and is based in the University of Glasgow; Moira Burgess a pre-eminent bibliographer of Glasgow and analyst of Glasgow in fiction; Jimmy Boyle a graduate of Barlinnie Prison's
Introduction The material presented here raises general themes of order and disorder, the way they are represented or signified, and the place of crime in these representations. The material is based upon an audio file, originally 29 minutes in length, and examines the problem of crime in relation to the city of Glasgow. It was recorded in 1999. This material is from our archive and is an adapted extract from Crime, order and social control (D315) which is no longer taught by The Open Univers

Introduction In this unit you will consider key developments in the English language from the end of the fifteenth century to the nineteenth century. You will study how the social and political changes of this period affected the English language as well as the development of new tools and ways of thinking about language.
Firstly, however, some useful ‘tools of the trade’ – you'll take a look at some vital foundations of English grammar. This material is from our archive and is an
7 Unit summary
James Clerk Maxwell (1831-1879) is arguably the father of electromagnetism, and unarguably one of the greatest physicists ever. Einstein called Maxwell's equations 'the most important event in physics since Newton's time, not only because of their wealth of content, but also because they form a pattern for a new type of law'. This unit will examine Maxwell's greatest triumph, the prediction that electromagnetic waves can propagate vast distances through empty space and the realisation that light
