History of Ideas I: The Swedish History of Ideas

Utbildningsfakta

Kod: KVGH14

The course provides a historical survey of ideas, culture, and science in Sweden in its European context with a focus on the 19th and 20th centuries. There is a special focus on the emergence of modern Sweden, which includes social movements, expansion of education and science systems, democratisation, the welfare state ("folkhemmet"), political and cultural ideologies and debates, equality policy, and Sweden in the globalised world. The module is research-based and reverberates with issues related to historical consciousness and historical culture, historiography, and the use of history. Instruction is in the form of lectures, presenting overviews of essential content, and mandatory seminars on course content in the light of course literature, in which students discuss their understanding orally and in writing.
