History is the pursuit of how we got here and the stories that we tell ourselves to explain the past. We explore histories of race, class, gender, migration, capital, medicine, violence, religion and environment within the dynamics of an ever-changing world. Working from ordinary to extraordinary, local to global, fact to fiction, you will develop critical thinking, argument and analysis skills that lie at the heart of careers in media, government, culture and education.

 

You will study Irish, European, and Global History from the Middle Ages to the present. You will engage with different aspects of History – political, cultural, social, and economic. You will explore questions and problems, and develop your critical thinking skills and your ability to express your ideas and arguments.
