Curriculum
The programme’s core module is the Forms and Legacies of Warfare and Violent Conflict. In the first semester, it starts with debates on the causes of the First World War, the Cold War and the Yugoslav Wars. It then focuses on the British home front experience of the Second World War, before looking at Islamic anticolonial resistance in the Middle East. The module finishes by investigating the new forms that war has taken after the Cold War and 9/11. The second semester is divided into three parts, each examining the impact, memory and legacy of war after 1918 in Britain, after 1945 in Europe and after 1989 globally.
You take two semester-long options that allow you to focus on a specific area of interest, for example holocaust memory, cultural memory in Ireland, conflict resolution and the Irish Troubles, the Second World War in Britain, human rights, cultural and critical theory, or international relations. The Research Methods module helps you to develop the academic skills necessary to engage in the 20,000-word dissertation, for which you are guided by an academic tutor with subject expertise.
You have the chance to go on two field trips. The first introduces you to archives and primary sources related to modern warfare, such as those hosted in the Imperial War Museum. The second is a trip to a major European city like Berlin, where you examine the memories and legacies of war, connecting theory with contemporary politics and the lived space.
You also benefit from attending the research seminars organised by the Centre for Research in Memory, Narrative and Histories and by the Politics, Philosophy and Aesthetics research programme.
