Resources and Facilities Trinity Student ID Card As a Trinity student, you will be issued with a multi-purpose identity card. It serves as a membership ID card for the Library, and will also grant you access to most Trinity buildings. Email You will be provided with a Trinity email account (@tcd.ie). As this is the main way that members of staff will communicate with you during the course and all official communication regarding the course will be sent to it, you should check your Trinity email account regularly. Internet While on campus, you can also access the Trinity WIFI. The login details are the same as those you use to access your Trinity email account. For further information, see this page. If you have any issues with your Trinity email account or WIFI connection, or if you require any other technical assistance, please contact the IT Service Desk. VLE Trinity makes use of a Virtual Learning Environment (VLE) called Blackboard. Most, but not all of the modules make extensive use of Blackboard, posting reading lists, schedules, messages, and exercises. Some also require you to submit your assignments via Blackboard. You will be prompted for your login details which are the same as those issued to you at registration to access your Trinity email account. Once you have gained access to Blackboard, you will see a list of the modules on which you are registered. If you click on the individual modules, you will be taken to the content for that module. Trinity Apps You may also wish to download and use Trinity apps for module devices, which will provide information on library loans, Blackboard announcements, IT Services announcements, College events, etc. These apps can be found online (free of charge) on the Apple App Store.

Course Structure and Modus Operandi Structure and Credits As the MPhil in Identities & Cultures (ICE) is a 90-credit Masters programme, students are required to take the following components to complete their 90 ECTS credits1. With the exception of the dissertation module (30 credits), each module is worth 10 credits. This means that in order to pass, students have to take:

• 2 x term-long compulsory core modules, one in Michaelmas Term and one in Hilary Term (2 x 10 credits)

• 4 x term-long optional modules, two in Michaelmas Term and two in Hilary Term (4 x 10 credits)

• 1 x compulsory research dissertation module in Trinity Term (30 credits)

CREDITS 10 10 10 10 10 10 30 90 Core Modules The core modules are taught by a team of colleagues, each exploring a different identity-based topic. With the exception of the Introduction and Conclusion, the standard format for each core topic includes an introductory seminar/lecture on the theoretical implications of the topic, followed by a seminar looking at case studies. Core topics may vary from year to year, depending on staff availability and timetabling constraints. For this year’s list of core topics, please consult the Core Modules page of the MPhil website and click on the links provided at the very bottom of the page for full module descriptions (which include indicative bibliographies). See also the Appendix to this handbook for the full list of modules available this year.

1 Students who do not complete a dissertation are awarded a Postgraduate Diploma (PGradDip), worth 60 credits, if they pass all the taught components of the programme.

7

Optional Modules There are two kinds of optional modules: programme modules and approved modules. Programme modules are modules developed specifically for this Masters programme. Approved modules are modules developed by other Masters programmes at Trinity and have been selected and approved by our programme because of their relevance to the question of identity.

For each term, students choose one programme module and one other optional module (the other optional module can be either another programme module or an approved module).

Optional modules may vary from year to year, depending on staff availability and timetabling constraints. There may be caps on student numbers in some modules, due to popularity or other restrictions, while some modules may not run if an insufficient number of students sign up. For this year’s choice of options, please consult the Options page of the MPhil website and click on module names for full module descriptions (which include indicative bibliographies). If you haven’t already completed your Options Form (available on the Handbook & Forms page of the MPhil website under Course Details), please return your completed form to the Course Coordinator (Dr Hannes Opelz) as soon as possible. Internship Option Students may choose a work placement option as one of their optional modules in Hilary Term. The programme proposes a range of placements (listed on the Internship Expression of Interest Form, which will be provided to students during the week before teaching starts) with partner cultural institutions, NGOs, and civil society organisations in Dublin. Although students are also free to find their own placement (either in Dublin or beyond), all placements have to be approved by the Course Director and Course Coordinator in order to be taken for credit as part of the programme. On the basis of their internship, students taking this option write a report applying theories of identity to practices at the internship institution, under the supervision of an academic staff member of the School of Languages, Literatures and Cultural Studies. For more detailed information, please consult the full module description by clicking on the link provided at the bottom of the Internship page of the MPhil website. Selecting the internship option does not in and of itself guarantee that the student will secure a placement. After registering their interest on the Internship Expression of Interest Form (which will be made available on the Handbook & Forms page of the MPhil website under Course Details), students are selected on the basis of their suitability for the placement and of the case they make in their Internship Expression of Interest Form, bearing in mind that students may well be vying for the same placement opportunity and that partner institutions also partake in the selection process. If/when the student secures a placement, they will be asked to sign a

8

Learning Agreement which sets out the terms & conditions of the placement. Because we cannot guarantee that each and every student will secure a work placement, students will be asked to submit a second module choice in case they are unable to secure a placement. Students wishing to avail of the internship option should complete the Internship Expression of Interest Form and return it to the Course Coordinator (Dr Hannes Opelz) by the date specified on the form (see also ‘Key Dates’ section of this handbook). Students planning to find their own placements should contact the Course Director (Dr James Hanrahan) as soon as possible to discuss their proposed institution. All placements require an Internship Agreement and a Learning Agreement, both of which have to be signed by the prospective institution and the Course Director. Following preliminary approval by the Course Director, it is the responsibility of the student wishing to find their own placement to establish first contact with the proposed institution as soon as possible (the programme will provide students upon request with a document to help them approach extramural institutions). Please note: internships are strictly unpaid and should normally take place between January and May. Dissertation A research dissertation is completed during Trinity Term (after the end of the second teaching term). This compulsory module offers students the opportunity to pursue a research question of their choice from any area of Identity Studies with expert guidance and supervision, and to present their findings in a substantial dissertation of 15,000-20,000 words (including footnotes and bibliography). In addition to training sessions organised by the School of Languages, Literatures and Cultural Studies, a student will normally receive 6 supervision hours in total over the course of preparing, writing and revising their dissertation. It is the student’s responsibility to identify the supervisor(s) best suited to their chosen dissertation topic. Given the size and importance of the dissertation, the student should begin this process early on in the course, and should have decided on their supervisors before the second week of Hilary Term. The student approaches their potential supervisor and discusses what they would like to achieve in the dissertation. When a supervisor has agreed to supervise a student, they both fill out a Dissertation Supervision Form (available on the Handbook & Forms page of the MPhil website under Course Details). It is the student’s responsibility to:

• decide on the research question of their dissertation, in consultation with their supervisor;

• familiarise themselves with the House Style Guide (available on the Handbook and Forms page of the MPhil website under Course Details), as marks are attached to the dissertation’s conformity to this;

9

• familiarise themselves with College regulations on plagiarism, while also completing the Ready, Steady, Write online tutorial on plagiarism as soon as possible. (Completing the tutorial is compulsory for all students. If students are found guilty of plagiarism, they risk being awarded a mark of zero and/or not being awarded their degree);

• submit drafts of their work by the deadline agreed in consultation with their supervisor;

• attend supervisions as they prepare and complete their dissertation. (The supervisor and student together agree a timetable for meetings, and processes for the submission and return of work. Some feedback may be provided in electronic form. The maximum number of hours a student may legitimately expect to spend in face-to-face meetings with their supervisor is 6 in the course of the year.)

• submit the final version of the dissertation by the published deadline (see ‘Key Dates’ section of this handbook).

It is the supervisor’s role to:

• have an overview of the student’s work and, where necessary, seek specialist advice;

• respond to the student’s questions regarding the topic and scope of the dissertation;

• discuss structure and development of arguments in the dissertation; • provide feedback, usually in verbal/textual form on the days agreed in

consultation with the student. It is the marker’s role to

• read through the material; • assess the work on the basis of the criteria provided; • provide comprehensive feedback for the external examiner, which indicates

how the final mark has been reached, including in-script annotations; • return work within 30 working days.

Field Trip to Belgium The three-day field trip to Belgium takes place during Study Week of Michaelmas Term, where students will have the opportunity to network and create links with key cultural institutions, organisations, and NGOs at the heart of Europe. Hosted by The Leuven Institute for Ireland in Europe, students will follow a structured programme of events, including lectures on European identity issues by academic staff from Katholieke Universiteit Leuven (KU Leuven), career sessions with graduates now working in Belgium, as well as visits to European Commission, NGOs, and a range of cultural/art centres. A detailed programme of activities will be circulated to students in due course. (The dates of the field trip are indicated in the ‘Key Dates’ section of this handbook.)

10

The cost of the field trip (€650) is part of the advertised fees of the programme but must be paid separately to the School Office by the beginning of the second week of teaching (see ‘Key Dates’ section of this handbook). Please contact the Course Administrator in order to arrange payment. Field trip costs include flights, transfers in Brussels, accommodation, visits and administrative costs. The costs do not include visa fees, travel insurance and subsistence. Non-EU students are responsible for their own visa arrangements and must ensure that they can travel to Belgium and re-enter Ireland. It is the responsibility of each participant to check-in for their own flight. The flight times will be confirmed at least two weeks before the intended departure date. Dates of return flights cannot be changed should you choose to extend your stay.

All students must complete the Field Trip Form (available on the Handbook and Forms page of the MPhil website under Course Details) and return it to the Course Administrator by the date specified on the form (see also ‘Key Dates’ section of this handbook). Identities & Cultures Workshop The two-day Identities & Cultures Workshop takes place in Hilary Term (dates to be confirmed). While the format of the workshop may vary from year to year, it is usually given by a high-profile external speaker from academia or civil society. The non-credit-bearing workshop also includes short papers from students on the programme and/or students on other programmes or from other institutions, allowing students to gain feedback on their research projects in a supportive environment. Identities in Transformation Research Theme The MPhil in Identities & Cultures of Europe links into the university’s very successful research theme Identities in Transformation, bringing together researchers and postgraduates from across the university. Through a series of events, projects and publications, this research theme explores the dynamics between social and political change, shifts in cultural memory, cultural and artistic practices, and human agency. Students on the programme are strongly encouraged to attend the theme’s range of lectures, debates and postgraduate-led events. Course Learning Outcomes Upon successful completion of this course, students should able to: LO 1 Describe how identities are formed and develop historically under the

influence of political, social, religious, cultural, economic and technological phenomena.

LO 2 Outline a range of theoretical approaches for analysing questions of identity.

11

LO 3 Interpret visual and literary works in order to analyse the cultural and aesthetic values that shape them.

LO 4 Explain how theories of identity can be applied to societies and their cultural expressions in order to obtain a better understanding of both.

LO 5 Compare how discrete cultures differ in the expression of their respective

identities. LO 6 Explain the historical origins and continuities of a variety of contemporary

national, cultural, social, sexual, gender, and political identities. LO 7 Analyse and critique the cultural, historical and political expressions of

different contemporary identities in the public sphere. LO 8 Critically evaluate the assumptions and claims of advocates and

representations of particular identities. LO 9 Formulate, develop, and address research questions both orally (through

seminar presentations) and in writing (through reports, essays, or diaries, and a research dissertation).

12

Staff, Supervisors and Student Representatives The MPhil in Identities & Cultures of Europe is run by the Course Director (Dr James Hanharan) and the Course Coordinator (Dr Hannes Opelz). The Director and Coordinator are the students’ first and most frequent point of contact for any questions or concerns. For purely administrative matters (e.g. timetabling issues, field trip payment, etc.), students should contact the Course Administrator. Supervisors Each student is required to find a supervisor for their dissertation (see Dissertation section above). Students are encouraged to start identifying and approaching potential dissertation supervisors in Michaelmas Term. Dissertation supervisors are settled by the beginning of Hilary Term (HT). For a full list of staff teaching on this MPhil, please consult the People page of the MPhil website, clicking on their names to explore their research interests.

Student Representatives Each year, the class nominates one or more representatives from among the students. These representatives attend meetings each term and act as the student voice on behalf of the whole class.

13

Regulations and Guidelines Plagiarism When writing or presenting your work, it is important always to avoid using other people’s ideas or words as if they were your own. At its worst, this is plagiarism, a form of intellectual dishonesty and fraud and as such is considered a very serious offence by Trinity. You always have to credit and acknowledge all your sources of information (printed, virtual or listened to). It is clearly plagiarism if you simply transcribe (or cut and paste) somebody else’s text (book, article, essay, etc.) without specifying (usually in an appropriate footnote) your source very clearly. The offence may not always be intentional, but even when it is not done deliberately, it can still count as an offence and you may be technically guilty of plagiarism, leading – at worst – to your expulsion from College. The reasons for this and Trinity’s policy on plagiarism are explained in an online repository, hosted by the TCD Library. Postgraduate students are required to complete the online tutorial Ready, Steady, Write, which contains some interesting analyses of borderline cases. In addition, all cover sheets, which you must complete when submitting assessed work, now contain the following declaration:

I have read and I understand the plagiarism provisions in the General Regulations of the University Calendar for the current year, found at http://www.tcd.ie/calendar. I have also completed the Online Tutorial on avoiding plagiarism at http://tcd-ie.libguides.com/plagiarism/ready-steady-write.

Submission of Work It is the responsibility of the student to find out what the requirements and deadlines are for a given module. Unless indicated otherwise, the deadline for submitting coursework (e.g. term essays) for programme and core modules is the Friday of Assessment Week at the end of term (see the link to the Academic Year Calendar at the bottom of the ‘Key Dates’ section of this handbook). However, as module assessments can come in many forms (essays, in-class presentations, diaries, reports, dissertations, etc.) and deadlines may vary between modules, students must ensure they know what is expected of them and by which date/time. Students are therefore strongly advised to consult the full module descriptions of individual modules (available on the Core Modules page and Optional Modules page of the MPhil website under Course Details) and/or by asking the relevant module coordinator(s). In any case, students are required to submit their assignments by the deadline for each individual module. For some modules, hard copies may not be required. Where hard copies of essays are required, one hard copy of essays with the appropriate cover sheet should be submitted

14

in person to the School Office (room 5042, Arts Building). Students are also required to submit an electronic version of their essays to the Course Administrator and to upload the main text of their assignment (minus any video or audio appendices) to the Blackboard site of the module in question. For more details on the submission of the dissertation, see the Dissertation section above. Students are required to submit an electronic version of their dissertations to the Course Administrator. The electronic and hard copies must be identical. If they differ, the hard copy is considered the officially submitted version. Assessment and Progression The MPhil in Identities & Cultures of Europe is assessed and progressed as follows:

(i) Student performance in each module is assessed by coursework (essays, class presentations, reports, diary). All students are additionally assessed by dissertation.

(ii) The pass mark in all modules is 40%.

(iii) To qualify for the award of MPhil, a student must achieve a credit-weighted average mark of at least 40% across the taught modules and achieve a mark of at least 40% in the dissertation.

(iv) Compensation: in the case of the taught modules, a student must either

pass taught modules amounting to 60 credits, or pass taught modules amounting to 50 credits and achieve a minimum mark of 30% in the failed module.

(v) All modules are weighted according to their credit values.

(vi) The overall mark for the course is the credit-weighted average of the

marks awarded for each module.

(vii) An MPhil with Distinction may be awarded if a student has achieved an overall mark of 70% or over, has passed all elements, and has been awarded a mark of 70% or over for the dissertation. A Distinction cannot be awarded if a student has failed any module during the course.

(viii) A student who successfully completes all other requirements but does

not proceed to the dissertation stage, or fails to achieve the required mark of 40% in the dissertation, will be recommended for the award of Postgraduate Diploma (PGradDip).

(ix) Postgraduate Diploma with Distinction may be awarded if a student has

achieved an overall mark of 70% or over and has passed all elements (excluding the dissertation, which is not a requirement of the

15

Postgraduate Diploma). A Distinction cannot be awarded if a student has failed any module during the course.

Grading The final degree has only three possible classifications: fail, pass, and distinction. However, each component of the degree is graded according to the university’s general scale. The pass mark is 40%.

I 70+ Excellent II.1 60-69 Very good II.2 50-59 Reasonably good III 40-49 Adequate F <40 Fail

In general, the four pass bands above are to be interpreted as follows: I (70+) Demonstrates an excellent understanding of key issues, an ability to

construct a detailed and incisive argument on the basis of that understanding, and a capacity for developing innovative lines of thought.

II.1 (60-69) Demonstrates a very good understanding of key issues, an ability to

construct a detailed argument on the basis of that understanding, and a capacity to generate additional insights.

II.2 (50-59) Demonstrates a reasonably good understanding of key issues and an

ability to construct a satisfactory argument on the basis of that understanding.

III (40-49) Demonstrates an adequate understanding of key issues and an ability to

construct a basic argument. Please find below more detailed marking criteria, bearing in mind that the following grade profiles are general and typical (a candidate may not fit all aspects of a profile to fall into that grade band). First (70-100)

This grade indicates work of excellent to exceptional quality. An essay in this range will demonstrate some, though not necessarily all, of the following:

• Excellent knowledge and understanding of the subject matter; • Independent thought of high quality reflected in an original and imaginative

handling of the subject matter; • Comprehensive treatment of the question; • Clear evidence of additional research which goes well beyond the set

reading; • Incisive critical and analytical ability;

16

• Excellent structure and organisation with a very high degree of coherence, clarity and cohesion throughout;

• Rigorous and compelling argument, consistently supported by evidence from relevant primary and secondary sources;

• Expression is rich, skilful, idiomatic, and virtually free from errors; • At the higher end of this grade, publishable in a well-regarded academic

journal. Upper Second (60-69)

This grade indicates work of a very good standard. An essay in this range will demonstrate some, though not necessarily all, of the following:

• Very good knowledge and understanding of the subject matter; • Convincing attempt at independent thought reflected in an intelligent

approach to the handling of the subject matter; • Deals with all the key points raised by the question; • Evidence of some additional research which goes beyond the set reading; • Clear evidence of critical and analytical ability; • Well organised/structured, rarely lacking coherence, clarity or cohesion; • Focused and convincing argument, generally supported by evidence from

relevant primary and secondary sources; • Proficient expression throughout, despite minor/infrequent infelicities.

Lower Second (50-59)

This grade indicates work of a reasonably good standard. An essay in this range will demonstrate some, though not necessarily all, of the following:

• Shows good knowledge of the subject matter, but may be narrow or somewhat superficial in frame of reference;

• Addresses some, though not all, of the key points raised by the question; • Generally capable, but unimaginative approach to the question; • Relies largely on lecture/seminar notes, with limited evidence of research

beyond the set reading; • Reluctant to engage critically with the primary and secondary literature, with

a tendency to be more descriptive than analytical; • Satisfactory organisation of material, occasionally lacking coherence and

clarity; • Argument may lack rigour, relevance, focus, development and/or evidence

for its claims, and may exhibit minor contradictions; • Expression is competent overall but may be unsophisticated and/or contain a

number of grammatical/stylistic errors. Third (40-49)

This grade indicates work of an acceptable to satisfactory standard. An essay in this range will demonstrate some, though not necessarily all, of the following:

17

• Demonstrates acceptable though limited knowledge of the subject matter, with a generally narrow or superficial frame of reference;

• Fails to address a number of the key points raised by the question; • Tendency towards unsupported assertions; • Reliance on uncritical reproduction of lecture/seminar notes, with little to no

evidence of additional reading; • Limited analytical ability; • Poorly structured; • Argument lacks coherence, relevance, clarity, focus, development and/or

evidence for its claims, and may exhibit contradictions; • Expression is satisfactory overall but may be inadequate, unsophisticated

and/or contain frequent grammatical/stylistic errors. Fail 1 (30-39)

This grade indicates work that fails to meet the basic requirements of an essay. An essay in this range will demonstrate some, though not necessarily all, of the following:

• Demonstrates very limited knowledge of the subject matter, with a very rudimentary, if any, frame of reference;

• Fails to address most of the key points raised by the question, missing important implications of the question;

• Largely irrelevant and dogmatic; • Little to no engagement with the set reading and/or little to no evidence of

any additional reading; • Little to no evidence of analytical/critical ability; • Very limited ability to organise material; • Argument consistently lacks coherence, clarity, focus and/or evidence for its

claims, and may exhibit frequent/serious contradictions; • Expression is poor, unsophisticated and/or contains an unacceptably high

level of grammatical/stylistic errors. Fail 2 (0-29)

This grade indicates work that fails to meet the basic requirements of an essay, containing some or all of the weaknesses noted under the Fail 1 grade range, but to a greater extent.
