A series of podcasts of lectures given during the 2008/2009 session at the University of Sheffield for the Centre for Research into Freemasonry and Fraternalism.
This lecture assesses the importance of Masonic ideas and symbolism in Petrine Russia. It will be argued that Peter the Great (1672-1725) absorbed elements of a Masonic worldview. Lecture given by Robert Collis on 5 March 2009 for the Centre for Research into Freemasonry and Fraternalism. This lecture is provided as both a podcast and as a written document.
A lecture that deals with the first provable masonic lodges mainly in Beirut at the end of the 19th and start of the 20th Century. Given by Dorothe Sommer for the Centre for Research into Freemasonry and Fraternalism on 16 October 2008.
The triumph of nationalism destroyed the multi-ethnic Ottoman political and social order and replaced it by nation-states. Many explanations attributed the mass violence to a devious conspiracy between (crypto-) Jews, Freemasons, and Turks against Greeks and Armenians. Ugur Ungor argues that these pseudo-explanations are a product of two processes: one of competition between victim groups, and another of intellectual secularization. Lecture given 13 November 2008 for the Centre for Research into Freemasonry and Fraternalism.

A powerpoint and handout which describes the functionalist account of mental states, and criticisms of this theory.
At Level 3 (final year), in 2003 Rhian Davies embarked with Claire Allam (a Producer from the Learning and Teaching Services department of the University of Sheffield) upon the formidable challenge of getting students to select sequences from two of Galdós's works that exist in both novel and play form and turning them into films.
Teaching Galdos's work with film is a fascinatingly stimulating experience and it is certainly something that the students enjoy. As well as gaining valuable employability skills (in problem solving, team building, project management etc.) through the filmmaking process, in producing their own film versions, students come to engage closely with the works and have a lot of fun in the process. This film is a portrayal of a scene from El Abuelo.

Teaching Galdos's work with film is a fascinatingly stimulating experience and it is certainly something that the students enjoy. As well as gaining valuable employability skills (in problem solving, team building, project management etc.) through the filmmaking process, in producing their own film versions, students come to engage closely with the works and have a lot of fun in the process.
