Write an essay of 2000-2200 words on ONE of the topics below.

You have a choice of a self-directed topic (Topic 1) or set topics (Topics 2-3). For all topics, you are advised to discuss your chosen topic, and especially your choice of examples/case studies, with the module leader at an early stage in your research. Essays should be analytical as well as historical and/or descriptive (i.e. they should answer the question ‘why’ and not just ‘what’), and should describe and analyse the social and cultural contexts for the music under discussion. You will need to provide a critical discussion that situates your chosen case study within the context of the scholarly literature on popular music. You should use at least FIVE peer-reviewed secondary sources.

Topic 1: Self-directed topic

Write an essay on a topic of your own devising directly related to some aspect of the module. You should include examples or case studies (e.g. genres, songs, artists) that allow you to engage both with musical details and with wider social and cultural issues. You should also discuss the topic with the module leader in module tutorials or Student Consultation and Feedback Hours.

Topic 2: Cultural Contact in British Popular Music

With specific reference to case studies of one or two musical artists, genres or styles, discuss how popular musics in Britain have emerged from – and have been transformed by – cultural contact and exchange brought about by the movement of people and music. You may want to reference the role of music in relation to topics such as identity, the British Empire, colonialism or technology.

Topic 3: Popular Music and Politics in Britain

With specific reference to case studies of one or two musical artists, genres or styles, discuss the political significance of music in Britain. You could consider topics such as music’s use in political protest, in the self-representation and/or persecution of minority ethnic groups, or the ways in which popular musics have been perceived as transgressive (e.g. illegal, shocking, immoral).

PROFESSIONAL DISPOSITIONS AND ETHICS

The development of the School of Education (SOE) Professional Dispositions and Ethics for Next-Gen candidates strengthens the educational experience and conveys the SOE’s commitment to teaching, learning, and leading to the greater professional community. This professional dispositions and ethics work at WGU is supported by the “primary critical Healthy Learning focus areas that are key drivers of student academic, professional, and personal success” (Milliron, Walsh, Rhodes, 2021). As a Next-Gen candidate, you will need to collaborate with families, caregivers, and the larger community to establish partnerships that will promote learner growth.

In this task, you will first complete the SOE Professional Dispositions and Ethics self-assessment. Then you will create an action plan for ongoing professional development in the following professional dispositions and ethics:

  • All individuals Can Learn
  • Empathy
  • Growth Mindset
  • Intellectual Courage
  • Belonging
  • Integrity
  • Professionalism
  • Communication

You will explain how you have demonstrated the dispositions or ethics in a professional setting, which could include a workplace, school setting, community setting, or volunteering. Then you will identify ways you can grow in the professional dispositions and ethics, justify your action steps, and explain how you will collaborate with families, caregivers, and the larger community to apply the professional dispositions and ethics in the future.
