Location on this date: Online
Tutors: Fiona McCullochThis course will introduce and discuss the fiction of renowned author, Angela Carter, specifically focusing upon one novel and one short story. Carter wanted her writing to ‘demythologise the fictions that regulate our lives’, to explore how society narrates us into being and holds us there. In doing so, she offers us a chance to read and, ultimately, release ourselves through her work, as we come to understand the relationship between fiction and reality. For Carter, both of these – fiction and reality – are two sides of the same coin.Full fee £129.00 Senior fee £129.00 Concession £84.00 - Spanish 4/5 Spanish film studies: Power and Resistance in XX and XXI century Spanish FilmsCourse start date: Wed 22 Oct 2025

Location on this date: Online
Tutors: Fiona McCullochThis course will introduce and discuss two novels by eminent author, Muriel Spark- Memento Mori (1959) and The Ballad of Peckham Rye (1960). Her writing wilfully upends notions of conformity and acts as a disrupter to accepted conventions. Instead, ‘Spark beckons us to encounter the stranger’ (Marilyn Reizbaum). Playfully disrupting passive readers and stretching comfort zones, Spark’s work provides a space to access unaccustomed outlooks that make us rethink our relationship with ourselves, others, and the world. Instead of unconsciously going with the flow, she awakens us to life’s stranger things.Full fee £129.00 Senior fee £129.00 Concession £84.00 - Economic paradigms: are there alternatives to capitalism?Course start date: Wed 19 Nov 2025

Location on this date: Online
Tutors: Fiona McCullochThis course will introduce and discuss a selection of short stories by Katherine Mansfield. Mansfield’s approach to art is to embrace hidden depths, to seek untamed and unhindered aspects lurking in the shadows, writing with a wild surmise in an attempt to find new literary vistas. Similarly, describing herself as ‘an alien’, we will consider her self-asserted feeling of strangeness as an outsider, and how this might manifest itself in her fictional work.

Location on this date: Online
Tutors: Fiona McCullochThis course will introduce and discuss the fiction of distinguished British author, Pat Barker, delving into her first two novels as a means of considering her premise that ‘looking straight at the world is part of your duty as a writer’. Hailing from the Northeast of England, Barker unflinchingly depicts situations and characters that pull no punches as she looks the world straight in the eye. In doing so, she offers readers who wish to accompany her, at times, a mirror reflecting what polite society’s gaze often evades.
