Module Convenor: Dr Claudia Stein (PGT Director)

All postgraduate students in the Department of History are expected to fully engage with the department鈥檚 research culture by attending research seminars and other events. This optional core module enables MA students and Postgraduate Diploma students to reflect on what history research culture entails, and their learning from attendance at these events in relation to their studies, their professional development, and their own research interests.

All departmental research events are advertised on the departmental website and circulated widely. Please see the History Department Events Calendar for an overview of all events.

Students are encouraged to attend as many research events as they are able to, including those organised in cognate disciplines in the Faculty of Arts and across the university as appropriate. In order to pass this module, you are usually required to attend at least four of the department research seminars and a minimum of four other research events over the course of the year that are relevant to your research interests.

MA students wishing to specialise in a pathway (Early Modern, Modern, Global and Comparative, or Medicine, Science and Technology) must choose the relevant Research Culture module:

• HI9B6-0 Research Culture (Early Modern)
• HI9B5-0 Research Culture (Modern)
• HI9B4-0 Research Culture (Medicine, Science and Technology)
• HI9B5-0 Research Culture (Global and Comparative)

All other students will take HI919-0 Research Culture (History).

Module aims

This module provides students with the opportunity to:

• Experience a departmental research culture, and understand that different historians take different approaches to their work, but that no historians work in isolation
• Meet and network with a wide range of academic staff and other postgraduate students in the department, and those invited to present their research, in a professional manner
• Develop an understanding of the collaborative and collegiate nature of historical research
• Reflect on their perspectives of research culture as it relates to their research interests.

Learning Outcomes

By the end of the module, students should be able to:

• Critically review their own learning and personal development by reflecting on their understanding and experience of research culture
• Demonstrate the development of professional skills, including communication and networking
• Demonstrate advanced understanding of where their research interests [in history / early modern history / the history of medicine, science and technology / global and comparative history / modern history] fit within a collaborative research culture

Assessment

• Research Culture Reflection
  You will write a 2000 word reflective piece on your experience and understanding of research culture in relation to your research interests.
• This assignment is marked pass/fail. MA students wishing to specialise in a pathway (Early Modern, Modern, Global and Comparative, or Medicine, Science and Technology) must pass this assessment in order to graduate with their chosen pathway. Students who do not pass this assessment can still graduate on the standard History MA.
