This taster will introduce participants to the study of Social History, which unlike other forms of historical enquiry places the experiences of ordinary people, in particular, the working-class, women, and children, at its centre. It will explore the history of everyday life – family, education, work – in Britain, since 1900, and look at some of the major changes to people’s lives across the twentieth century, up to the present day. We will discuss the idea of ‘community’ too: was community more stable in the past or does it continue to have strong meaning for people today?
