HIS42020 Disseminating History

Academic Year 2023/2024

This module facilitates graduate students in developing the skills required to disseminate their historical ideas and writing. The idea is that students design, organise and prepare for an MA conference, which will take place in week 12. After an initial two-hour session with the module co-ordinator graduate students will be divided into workshop groups. These groups will then meet with the module co-ordinator for four two-hour workshop sessions during the trimester (at times designated by the module co-ordinator). In these workshops students will discuss their thesis ideas for presentation at the end of module conference. Various tasks will be set by the module co-ordinator that must be completed during these workshops.
