Peace in the shadows of world war

- Have an awareness of the ways in which British society, politics and culture were affected by the shadow of WW1 and fear of another war.- Identify major events and movements in interwar Britain and the way these were informed by international cooperation and conflicts.- Outline the fluctuating influence of peace movements and leading figures associated with them, on mainstream politics and public opinion.- Make your own evaluation of British contributions in building peace and preventing, preparing or enabling war.

No additional costs. If you would like to take any notes, do bring some pen and paper with you to class.There will be an option for you to complete online work outside of class if you would like.

Lectures, small group work/discussions, larger class discussions will be supplemented by video, articles and other sourced reading materials (including governmental and advocacy group reports, etc.). You will gain more from the course, in terms of enjoyment and learning, if you are able and willing to do some supplementary reading outside of class meetings and participate in in-class discussions. You may also have the opportunity to explore more resources for discussion in classroom-based activities – including possible use of computers during in-class small group work.
