Course summary

History, according to essayist and Oxford professor Richard Cobb, is a cultural subject, enriching in itself, and inquiry into the past is an intellectually stimulating, varied, and enjoyable experience. However, the value of the subject goes beyond its intrinsic merits as historical questions are of considerable social importance as they encourage an informed and responsible skepticism that can be applied to a wide range of contemporary areas and issues.
