Introduction
While historians often study particular times and places in detail, it is important to also step back and see the big picture. In this unit we study continuity and change at a global level and/or over long periods of time. Using a range of historical sources such we will study change in areas such as warfare, economics, society, ideas and popular culture. Students will develop an understanding of both the challenges of studying big picture history and the necessity of doing it in our globalised world.
