History with Global History

**This programme is an exciting opportunity to focus on global issues within the framework of a History degree, crossing continents and chronologies.**<br/><br/>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.<br/><br/>We explore questions of power, domination, and asymmetry, as well as responses to global processes from the people worst affected by them.<br/><br/>Our themes include:<br/>- World History<br/><br/><br/>- Migration<br/><br/><br/>- Empire decolonisation and race<br/><br/><br/>- Subaltern histories<br/><br/><br/>- The global south<br/><br/><br/>- Postcolonialism<br/><br/><br/>- History in transnational perspective<br/><br/><br/>Studying Global History involves applying knowledge and understanding from these themes to contemporary issues such as the UK’s changing place in the world, colonial/postcolonial relationships, and complex histories of race and racism around the world, contributing towards equality, diversity and social justice. You will develop your skills in interdisciplinary approaches and engage with a range of historical methods/ideas.<br/><br/>**Why study BA History with Global Goldsmiths**<br/>- You will learn about histories of culture, ideas, politics and power - beyond boundaries and borders.<br/><br/><br/>- You will be taught by a multi-national community of scholars whose expertise means that history can be understood globally.<br/><br/><br/>- You will understand how countries operate within global frameworks, both in the past and now, and how empires of the past continue to affect societies and politics today.<br/><br/><br/>- Youll learn from experts in a Department that has been rated top 20 in the UK for quality of teaching in History (Guardian University League Table 2023).<br/>
