Autism DiagnosticObservation Schedule(ADOS2) for the ClinicalSetting

ADOS-2 is a semi-structured, standardisedassessment of communication, socialinteraction, play/imaginative use ofmaterials and restricted and repetitivebehaviours for individuals who have beenreferred because of possible autismspectrum disorder (ASD).

Fundamentally new to the ADOS-2 thanADOS-G are the procedures involved in thealgorithm computation and thecomparison score for module 1 through 3which were revised on the basis of thefindings of recent validation research. Thenew comparison score provides a way ofindicating a participant’s level of autismspectrum related symptomatology and itcan also be used to interpret anindividual’s own change in autismspectrum related symptoms over time.

ADOS-2 also includes a toddler module,which is designed for very young childrenwho do not use phrase speech but whoare between the ages of twelve and thirtymonths. The toddler module has its ownalgorithms that provide ‘ranges ofconcern’ instead of cut-off scores.A variety of specialists will use the ADOS-2,their use of results in writing reports andmaking recommendations to informmedical diagnoses, special educationclassification and occupational therapists

and speech and hearing professionalsmight use for treatment planning.

Centre for Gender and Women’s Studies Gender: History, Culture andRepresentation

‘The story is no longer about the thingsthat have happened to women and menand how they have reacted to them;instead it is about how the subjective andcollective meanings of women and men ascategories of identity have beenconstructed.’ (Joan Scott, Gender and thePolitics of History, New York). This lectureonly module will examine the historiesand representations of gender, seeking tounderstand how gender is constructed bysocieties, institutions and individuals,through the critical analysis of texts,works of art and public actions. Gender, itsrole, its construction and itshistoriography will be brought together byscholars across the school in aninterdisciplinary module. The operation ofgender ‘as a tool of analysis’ will beexamined in histories of the body,sexuality, medicine, religion, politics,institutions and representations in avariety of texts and contexts which willshow the inherent instability and elusive

nature of many gendered identities.

The aims of the course are to recognisethe continuity of problems and theopposite answers given by these thinkers

in classical texts of Western thought toidentify their legacy and transformation incritical theory, existentialist, feminist andpostmodern ethics, and in the interactionsof theological ethics with them.

ReligionContemporary Theories of Religion

This module provides a survey of both“classical thinkers” on religion andcontemporary developments in theacademic study of religion that combinecultural with cognitive, evolutionary andeconomic approaches. Theories areexplored on the basis of case studies thathelp to understand the role of religion in adiversity of historical and contemporarysettings.

The first part of the module introduceshow, in 19th century, thinking aboutreligion also meant to think about thecultural, economic and political crises ofthe era. The sciences started to explain“religion” as a natural phenomenon, andtheories of religion implicitly questionedwhat makes a modern society, the relationof “the West and the World” and the placeof humans within. Engaging with originaltexts we will assess their impact both asdocuments of their time and as a startingpoint for an analytical understanding ofreligion. We will keep track of howtheories responded to the problems oftheir time, and to their historical,philosophical and social contexts whichshape the role of religion until today.

The second part of the module starts fromthe “cultural turn” in the Study of Religion.Methods and theories provide a soundbasis for the production of independentand critical knowledge about the role of

religion in the cultures they emergedfrom. Differing from a religious orcommon sense understanding, andapplying aspects of gender, post-colonialtheory, economics and social change toconcrete cases, contemporary theorieshelp to think through the ongoing,sometimes surprising, impact religionshave on many people’s lives and inpolitical and private realms.

ReligionReligion, Media and thePublic Sphere

Religion is prominent in public debates, inthe media, and in the cultural imaginaryof people’s daily life, no matter whetherthey see themselves as believers or not. Inturn, religions also “make use” of mediaand mediation, creating symbolicrepresentations and special experiences,be it through architecture and music,images and narratives, or through clothes,body practices or TV and the internet.

ReligionThe End of the World: TheJohannine Writings

The book of Revelation depicts a series ofend-time judgments that lead to cosmiccatastrophe followed by a new heavenand new earth. The author of theApocalypse, John at Patmos, is not alonein believing that there is more than justthis world—there is another world. Assuch, the book of Revelation isparticipating in the apocalyptic genre andworldview wherein reflection uponanother world and otherworldly beingsare dominant themes. Expectations of theend are not only thought about in terms oftime (i.e. a linear progression from past, topresent, to future), but also space (e.g. theworld above and below; material vs.spiritual). To better understand theApocalypse of John this module sets itamong: (1) other Johannine Writings andtheir conceptions of “the world,” and (2)ancient Jewish apocalyptic writings (e.g.,Book of Watchers, Animal Apocalypse, 3Baruch). Themes such as Jewish andChristian anti-imperialism, responses tosuffering, and conceptualizations justicecome into focus within the broadercontext of the ancient phenomenon ofapocalyptic.
