Use of history

Education facts

Code: HIA620

The concept of the use of history is placed in a national and international research context. The aim is that the students acquire a deeper scholarly understanding of the use of history and familiarity with how the perspective can be applied practically in teaching and cultural mediation. Students study central texts in the field and relate these to the use of history in our time of neonationalist challenge to multiculturality and globalisation.
