Course Organiser: Dr Jo Cohen
HST4700
Level 4, 15 credits
There are four questions all historians must address. What is History? Who makes History? What shapes History? Finally, why study History at all? This module will enable students who are embarking on their degree course to answer these key questions for themselves. At the same time the module will provide training in the skills of historical research and the art of historical writing, two key components of successful historical practice. By the end of the semester, students will have acquired the conceptual framework and the tools that they will need to succeed as historians at Queen Mary.
