Families in History HTA384

Introduction

Families in History draws on examples from diverse places and times to explore changing ideals, attitudes, and experiences of the family in the past. We consider the family’s relationship with social, cultural, economic and political forces, as well as the lives of individual family members, such as mothers and children. The unit offers you the opportunity to conduct original archival research, to engage with digital history methods, and to communicate research on the history of the family in creative forms.
