Beyond the Classroom: Local Context

Theatre and Arts

Analysing drama with reference to productions at the Alhambra Theatre or the creative exhibits at the National Science and Media Museum.

Literature in Context

Exploring the world-famous "Brontë Connection" in nearby Haworth or discussing the industrial literature inspired by the UNESCO World Heritage site of Saltaire.

Critical Thinking

Using Bradford’s status as one of the UK's most diverse and youngest cities to stimulate high-level debate and non-fiction writing on contemporary social and global issues.
