%div.profile-subtitle Hannah O’Rourke
156+
%p As technology reshapes the political landscape, traditional wisdom in political strategy is being upended. This offers huge opportunities for campaigners and political institutions, but also challenges.
157+
%p In this module, you will learn about the current state of political campaigning and organising in the UK and explore how this is being changed by technology. It is designed to support students to develop and operationalise their own political strategies for the causes they care about.
158+
%p How can you make change actually happen? What pressure points can you target? This module will teach you how to navigate the realpolitik of the political system and how to make lasting systemic political change.
159+
%p Alongside this, students will learn about the theoretical cutting edge of technology in organising. How do you run a decentralised campaign effectively using the platforms available? What tools are best for organising your own campaigns?
160+
%p Basically… how do you get stuff done in politics?!

But how do we know what works? How can we design experiments and evaluations that let you meaningfully assess impact in an empirical robust way?

%p Games are systems carefully designed to evoke specific emotions in their participants. Political regimes in the real world are in fact also such systems, albeit for different ends. What can the craft of game design teach us that is applicable to designing policy? In this module, you’ll learn some game design theory from the commercial games industry, and also get hands-on experience of making game-design decisions.

%h3 Knowledge Production
181-
%div.profile-subtitle Matt Stempeck
182-
%p Knowledge creation is not an isolated or passive endeavour, but a collaborative process shaped by the interactions between individuals, communities, institutions, and their environments. Our approach recognizes that traditional, hierarchical models of knowledge production, where experts or institutions dictate knowledge flows, are insufficient to address the speed and complexity of contemporary challenges (or even reflect current realities).
183-
%p Instead, knowledge (co-)production emphasises collaboration across different sectors and perspectives, including "the people formerly known as the audience" (Jay Rosen), marginalised groups, and other non-academic actors to generate more inclusive, relevant, and socially robust understandings of the world. Consider frameworks like Participatory Action Research (PAR), which emphasises the active involvement of communities and stakeholders in research processes, and transdisciplinarity, where knowledge is produced across disciplinary and non-academic boundaries.

%h3 Network Development
192210
%div.profile-subtitle James Moulding
193211
%p The Network Development module is for people in communities who want to explore the potential of network strategies and thinking. The module is predicated on the approach that the most effective way to learn network strategies is by implementing them.
194212
%p Throughout our time together we will explore network development as building community, as developing the spatial awareness of social interactions, helping disparate and disconnected groups to get to know each other and collaborate in common purpose.
195213
%p Together, we will work to understand the building blocks of networks and a key set of practices that will enable you to build community wherever you are.

%p In this module, we will look at how organisations meet the challenge of designing new services and iterating them. We’ll discuss the differences between product thinking and service thinking. We’ll talk about the toolkits, methodologies and artefacts that are used, and their strengths and weaknesses. There are many barriers: we’ll identify structural blockers, procurement hurdles, team shape issues and skills gaps. Finally, we’ll consider how service design needs to evolve to stay relevant in a changing world.
