with enduring debates in education policy and practice.
International perspectives on education, social change and
inequality over the past two centuries are addressed. The range of
topics include colonialism and national identity, education and the
economy, youth and leisure, labour and social movements, literacy,
the state and education, and childhood and social welfare. In
addressing these issues, the module draws upon themes such as
justice and fairness in education as well as inequalities relating
to class, gender, race and disability. A range of primary
historical sources will be utilised, for example, documents and
archives, literary, biographical, archival, visual and material
evidence. History of education has a long research tradition which

drawing upon other humanities and social sciences. It is taught
over 10 Thursday evening sessions. The online version will run
during the autumn term.
