    I did this module last year. It's a very woolly module that's for sure. I'd recommend you study the teachings of identity in both sections of the module. It's very important to have your exam answers context specific and/or based on theoretical readings. I'd say the lecturer would be especially watching out for excessive waffling given the nature of the module.

    For the Nationalism bit I've been going over what was covered in the first few lectures - the 'what is a nation?' type stuff, am going to go over some of the readings he mentioned in his last lecture too. For the last part of the course I've been reading back over the 3 case studies from that Nayak book. I'll be going through some of the Kastoryano stuff too, I'm not 100% sure what I'll focus on there yet.

    I was really specific to readings and theories in this exam last year and I didn't do too well :(

    Hard to know what they're looking for it's a bit of a weird module!

    He mentioned a few in the last lecture, I don't think they're on the reading list. Stuff about the Irish language and identity and immigration I think. I was looking at the past papers before, it doesn't look like the stuff we covered - I'm pretty sure one of the lecturers said the course was different last year. It's been like that with a few of modules so I could be thinking of something else though.
