Explore Histories, Memories & Heritage

This collection of courses invites you to explore histories and memories of diverse communities all around the world.

Join us to learn and engage in conversations about minority communities, migrant communities, women, neurodiverse people, people facing disabilities in certain circumstances, LGBTQI+ communities and more.

Other courses will help you understand transnational memory politics. For example, the politics of heritage in British museum collections, the memory politics in war between Ukraine and Russia, and the post-1945 memory politics of the broader region of East Asia.

On these courses you will develop your historical skills with friendly support from our expert tutors. From oral history courses and storytelling courses; to advanced history courses focused on archival skills and exploring what academic history is and can be.
