The Department

The Department of History fosters enthusiasm for the study of history through a focus on encounters and exploration, ideas and identities. Our emphasis on encounters addresses the interplay of religious, political and cultural differences across time and place. We use innovative, interdisciplinary approaches to encourage the exploration of issues, controversies, and themes rather than chronological periods. By examining the development of ideas and identities, we draw upon the past to illuminate the conflicts and challenges of modern life.History at Goldsmiths promotes intellectual curiosity and independent critical thinking. We offer flexible and challenging programmes of study at undergraduate and postgraduate levels featuring carefully developed teaching invigorated by current research. The geographical range of our courses includes Asia, Africa, Eastern and Western Europe, and the Middle East.Further information about the Department is available at: http://www.gold.ac.uk/history/
