**This programme is an exciting opportunity to focus on global issues within the framework of a History degree, crossing continents and chronologies.**
History at Goldsmiths is global. We explore the multidirectional travel of people, practices, resources and ideas across boundaries (local, regional, national, continental, oceanic) and the changes occurring along the way.
We explore questions of power, domination, and asymmetry, as well as responses to global processes from the people worst affected by them.
Our themes include:
- World History
