Location of The University of Edinburgh
This is an innovative programme, based in part in the Economic and Social History subject area, but also drawing on the wide range of expertise within the School.
The programme provides a broad academic experience for those who wish to combine a small-scale research project at postgraduate level with specialist theoretical, methodological and subject-specific teaching across a range of periods and approaches.
There is a team-taught core course titled Historiography and Theory of Social and Cultural History which deals with such topics as:
* oral history and memory;
* gender;
* bodies and sexuality;
* consumer behaviour.
Specialist courses include:
* Urban Society and Civil Society in Historical Context;
* Culture and Society in Early Modern Britain: Slavery in the British Atlantic world 1650-1834.
Contents
The programme provides:
* specialist knowledge and understanding of social and cultural history;
* detailed knowledge and understanding of the central theoretical, methodological and historiographical issues that have shaped the field;
* an understanding of the interaction between historical sources and explanation;
* an appreciation of the context in which to understand the student's individual areas of interest/research within the broad field of social and cultural history.
