This presentation is about the introduction of the 19th century literature and some of the prominent authors in the period including William Wordsworth, Samuel Taylor Coleridge, Percy Byshhe Shelley, Ralph Waldo Emerson and Matthew Arnolds.
Dramas staged between 1660 and 1700 are called ‘Restoration Dramas’. The dramatic literature of the period was dominated by comedies called ‘Comedy of manners’. Actually ‘Restoration Comedy’ is used as a synonym for “Comedy of Manners”. The plot of the comedy, often concerned with scandal, was traditionally less important than its witty dialogues.
The comedy of manners was first developed in the new comedy of the Ancient Greek Playwright Menander. His style, elaborate plots, and stock characters were imitated by the Roman playwrights Plautus and Terence, whose comedies were widely known and copied during the Renaissance. The best-known comedies of manners, however, may well be those of the French playwright Moliere.
Oscar Wilde and William Congreve are the most celebrated authors of ‘Comedy of Manners’.
Robert Louis Balfour Stevenson was a Scottish novelist, poet, essayist, and travel writer. His most famous works are Treasure Island, Kidnapped, and Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde.

In the past, a college degree all but assured job seekers employment and high earnings, but today, what you make depends on what you take. In Hard Times 2013, we show differences in unemployment and earnings based on major for BA and graduate degree holders. We show that STEM — Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics — majors typically offer the best opportunities for employment and earnings, while unemployment is higher for graduates with non-technical degrees.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

3. Introduction Charles John Huffam Dickens, born February 7, 1812 in Portsmouth, Hampshire, to John and Elizabeth Dickens. He was sent to work in the Warren’s Blacking Factory at the age of twelve after his father was arrested for debt. He worked 10 hour days in absolutely atrocious working conditions applying labels to shoe polish. His horrific experience during this time, although only a few months, forever changed his views, and set the precedence for his writing style.
4. Introduction Continued Charles Dickens used his experiences at the factory to produce some of the most well known works of all time. He is depicted as the greatest English novelist, and is considered second only to Shakespeare among all English writers. Throughout his works Dickens political and socialist views are very relevant. He writes of the life of individuals, often children, who are poor and mistreated by someone of authority or wealth. However, these individuals go on to live a much happier existence, while the individuals who hurt them typically meet a less appealing fate.
5. Introduction Continued Dickens strongly supported the class system, and used the writing of this story Oliver Twist, to back his argument on socialist policies. Dickens used the profits from this book to create a foundation called Britains for Socialism Foundation. Dickens gave a series of “farewell readings” close to the end of his life, in London, during 1870. It is said that at the end of his last reading he spoke the words, “From these garish lights I vanish now forevermore.” It is said, according to Dickens obituary, that his very last words were, “Be natural my children. For the writer that is natural has fulfilled all of the rules of art.” Charles Dickens signature
6. Works Overview Oliver Twist (1838) David Copperfield (1850) A Tale of Two Cities (1859) Great Expectations (1860) While Charles Dickens has numerous works I chose to narrow my focus to a few that provide a true and vivid depiction of how his views on politics and socialism were reflected in his writings. Also, these works provide an example of how Dickens’ characters often overcome a their vicious life, and go onto find happiness. While, in a favorable twist, the evil character's seem to meet a less fortunate fate.
7. Oliver Twist The second novel written by Charles Dickens. The story follows the young life of an orphan who endures a horrible life in a workhouse (a place where those unable to support themselves are offered employment and housing). Oliver is later placed with an undertaker of whom he later escapes, but only to fall into the evil hands of a pickpocket gang. This book is known for exposing the terrible treatment of orphaned children in London during this time.
8. David Copperfield This story follows the life of David Copperfield from childhood to adult. As a child David is sent to a boarding school by his stepfather because he defended himself during a beating. After the death of his mother and brother, his stepfather sends him to work in a factory. The story continues into David’s adult years, and so many traits of his character can be applied to Dickens’ himself. This novel is said to follow many events of Dickens own life, and out of all his works is known as the closest to an autobiography.
9. A Tale of Two Cities It takes place in the early years of the revolution, and provides a look into the demoralization of the peasants by the aristocrats, and in a twist the brutal treatment of former aristocrats by the revolutionaries. This novel is reviewed as one of the most famous works in history of fictional literature.
10. Great Expectations Written in first person, this story follows the life of an orphan named Philip Pirrip, nicknamed Pip. In the beginning Pip lives with is abusive sister and her husband, but he is later sent to live with a woman who teaches him to work as a laborer, despite his hopes she will teach him to be a gentleman. The story continues to follow Pip throughout his life through adulthood. He eventually inherits a fortune. The majority of critics agree that this novel is Dickens greatest.
