Archaeology: Highlights of Saxon & Viking Archaeology
Why was Britain's genetic make-up radically changed between 500 and 800
AD/CE? Were the newcomers environmental refugees, pagan plunderers,
invaders or missionaries? Who were these new arrivals and what were
they doing over here?
This course will use recent information on sites, finds and their
interpretation to shed new light on Anglo-Saxon Age archaeology in
Britain. How and why the migrations took place will be illustrated using
new (since 1980) excavation evidence, metal detecting finds, scientific
analysis and aerial remote sensing data.

History: Anti Semitism
We will study the mutating virus of anti-semitism, through an exploration of the ancient template shaped by Christianity and examine key explosions of anti-Jewish violence and prejudice which Hitler was able to exploit, tragically culminating in the Final Solution. Through discussion and debate we will also spend time as a group examining contemporary Holocaust denial, distortion and conspiracy theories. Finally we will look at the current antisemitism accusations within the Labour party and its impact across the political landscape.

History: Trade, Empire and Migration in Nineteenth Century Britain
By the second half of the nineteenth century, as a result of an industrial revolution and the growth of trade and Empire, Britain had become 'the workshop of the world’, importing raw materials and exporting manufactured goods across the globe. Alongside these developments were great movements of people – emigration to other countries in search of a better life, internal migration from Scotland and Ireland to England, migration from countryside to towns in search of work, and immigration into Britain from European countries such as Russia, Germany and Italy.
Our course will examine the connections between Britain’s trade, its empire and the migration of people in the nineteenth century.
