This programme exploits our noted research strengths in the new cultural history, to provide an advanced introduction to its potentialities and to the debates it has generated. A theoretical and historiographical introduction to these is provided by its core course unit, 'History and Postmodernism'. This unit examines the so-called postmodern turn in contemporary social and cultural theory in the past two decades, which has posed a radical challenge to the practices, approaches and epistemology of the discipline of History. Through the controversies it has unleashed new types of histories have emerged which critically engage with postmodernism broadly conceived. Students on this programme often choose options in English Literature or Social Science.
