| This is a one-year taught Masters programme, combining a range of seminars offered by members of staff (for a total of 40 credits) and a 10,000 word dissertation (50 credits). The course is designed for students who wish to deepen their understanding of historical developments in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries without restricting themselves to a particular geographic or thematic specialisation. The core course, ‘The Construction of Identity in Modern Europe’, is comparative and historiographical rather than chronological in emphasis. Readings and seminars will focus on the manner in which historians have approached the roles of class, nation, gender, religion, sexuality and mass consumption in the formation of contemporary European culture. The case studies will be drawn from continental Europe, but the issues and debates are of equal relevance to British, American or Irish history. The course will provide students with theoretical and methodological frameworks applicable to the study of modern social, cultural and political history. |
