Course Title:
Uses and Abuses of History
Course Number:
HIS1013
Course Description:
"This is a team taught module that uses case studies from a wide range of geographical and chronological contexts to explore the uses of history in contemporary societies. Appeals to history have been used variously as a way of justifying political and social movements, military activities, state building and atrocities. Using these case studies will encourage students to think critically about the discipline of history and assess it not as a list of facts, but rather a range of powerful (and often inaccurate) narratives that have serious impacts on the world we live in."
Majority of work includes reading and completing assessments
