Mr Andy O'Cain

I am currently a module team member for the new level 3 politics module DD316 and a Staff tutor in Politics.

As a member of the module team for the level 2 course ‘DD211- Understanding politics: ideas and institutions in the modern world’ I was responsible for the block ‘Political concepts’, co-authoring four chapters on freedom, equality, power and sovereignty and producing several audios and videos focusing on these themes. For the audio-visual materials I interviewed many leading comntemporary political theorists and political actors such as Tom Shakespeare, Dame Tani Grey-Thompson, Steven Lukes, Anne Phillips,  James Bartholomew  and Jules Townsend. I have also recently been a module chair for the level 3 politics module ‘DD306- Living political ideas’.

As a tutor, I have taught across a wide range of modules in politics and social science at the Open University, Oxford Brookes University and the University of Reading.
