There are lots of good stories in History but the subject is not about learning the 'received version' of our past! There are facts, but which do we select as significant? There are events, but how do we interpret them? The way we think of our history strongly influences how we view our own world. It is an important subject - sometimes subversive, often enlightening, endlessly fascinating, always challenging. History is taught through a variety of methods and media. As well as reading and discussion, you will handle a lot of primary materials, study video extracts, relive situations through simulations, prepare individual and group presentations, attend conferences, and pursue your own enquiries in libraries and through the internet. You will have to think for yourself. Politics are at the centre of the course, because the actions of politicians have a profound effect on all of us, certainly in this century. However, economics, social behaviour, culture, thought and religion and a host of other areas are also involved, as we try to understand events in the past or today or in the future.
