Workshops on history in a modern language HIS-SL>warhistjnow
Due to the language chosen, the topics of classes will oscillate mainly around broadly understood issues from the history and culture of England/Great Britain/British Isles/British Empire. During the classes, the student will have the opportunity to learn not only about the history of selected, outstanding historical figures from the british past, but also about the issues related to the history of great metropolises (London, Belfast, Singapore), british everyday life (including the history of the Thames, transport or football) and British Royal and national pomp and circumstance.
