SummaryThis course aims to heighten student awareness of some of the main debates and issues within modern British and Irish historiography. The course draws upon a range of expertise within the School, including British, Irish and Scots historians, and spans from the seventeenth century through to the twentieth. The course is also thematically diverse, focusing upon social and economic no less than political historiographical material. Inevitably, given the breadth of the subject, only an introduction and a series of case-studies can be provided. But it is expected that students will graduate from the course with an enhanced appreciation of the shape of modern British and Irish historiography. This, in turn, will help students to choose and advance any research topics with greater clarity and accuracy.

Learning Outcomes
Through examining the work of key individual scholars, together with wider themes, it is hoped that students will emerge with an enhanced understanding of some of the main debates and directions within modern British and Irish historiography. Through detailed analysis of secondary and printed primary materials, it is expected that students will develop their critical awareness of the influences over, and concerns of, a range of modern British and Irish historians. Students will also be able to develop their skills as discussants, and asked to write a sustained piece of analysis which demonstrates historiographical knowledge and awareness.
