Your lecturers will be the authors of some of the books you're using - and you'll even get the chance to contribute to their research.You’ll benefit from a range of modules that address contemporary themes. From gender and sexuality in the early modern period through to the 1970s, to the significance of race and ethnicity to imperialism, slavery, genocide, national identity and racism. You’ll learn about the global south through the histories of Africa, South Asia, and East Asia, and develop your understanding of poverty and social justice in modules on British, European and World History. You’ll deepen your knowledge of war and conflict as well as the peace settlements and anti-war movements that these produced.And, as well as benefiting from the latest thinking, you can learn through a work placement - perhaps in archives, museums, local community groups, schools, or a National Trust property. So you understand the relevance of history to our culture and working life.
