HI 210 - the Four Kingdoms

Institution:

Skidmore College

Subject:

Description:

What does it mean to be English, Scottish, Irish or Welsh This course explores the interactive histories of England, Scotland, Ireland and Wales, and investigates each of the four kingdoms as categories of geo-political meaning and imagined communities of individuals, seeking to understand the place that each played in the history of the geographic space we now call "the British Isles." In confronting the disparities between the myth, legend and history in all of the four kingdoms, and the relationships forged between them, students in the course challenge the boundaries of historical inquiry marking "domestic" history as something apart from "imperial" history and seek ultimately to define what being "British" means to those living in each of the four kingdoms.
