I currently teach the following undergraduate courses:

HIST2084 RUSSIA IN WAR AND REVOLUTION, 1917-1953 (Available in 2016)

Between the 1890s and the 1950s, the people of Russia experienced three revolutions, two world wars, a brutal civil war, the collectivisation of the countryside, and the trauma of Stalin's 'Great Terror'. Millions of people died or were killed, but there were also spectacular achievements, such as the industrialisation of Russia in the 1930s and the victory over Nazi Germany in World War II. This course explores the epic history of the largest country on earth from the accession of Nicholas II, the last tsar, in 1894, to the death of Stalin in 1953. Though the main focus is on political developments, the course also looks in some depth at the social, economic and cultural history of the period, as well as the military history of Russia's involvement in World War I and World War II. The course concludes with an examination of the role played by the USSR in the post-war division of Europe and the outbreak of the Cold War.

HIST3054 PROTEST AND REVOLUTION IN MODERN EUROPE. 1942 TO THE PRESENT DAY (Available in 2016)

This course focuses on the role of protest and revolution in shaping modern Europe. By looking at a number of case studies, from the anti-Nazi uprisings at the end of World War II to street protests and riots in contemporary Europe, the course will explore the causes, the course and the consequences of political protest movements. Under what circumstances do such protest movements emerge? What methods are used by governments to neutralise or suppress mass protest? When, and for what reasons, do protest movements succeed in bringing about lasting change?

HIST2053 MEDIEVAL EUROPE: FROM CRUSADES TO THE BLACK DEATH (Available in 2017)

At the heart of medieval civilisation were ideals about empire, kingship, chivalry, crusading and the nature of Christian society. These ideals had a powerful impact on people?s behaviour, but they also came into conflict with the often brutal realities of medieval life. By the fourteenth century, the civilisation of medieval Europe was facing a crisis brought about by internal divisions, external threats, economic upheaval and the Black Death. This course explores the relationship between medieval ideals and medieval realities. It is structured around four modules: (i) We begin by exploring the world of Charlemagne and his successors in the ninth and tenth centuries, who attempted ? and failed ? to create a well ordered, Christian empire at the heart of Europe; (ii) The second module focuses on the crusading ideal and the expansion of European power in the eleventh and twelfth centuries; (iii) In the third module we will explore the flourishing of European civilisation and culture in the twelfth and thirteenth centuries that was associated, above all, with the growth of towns and trade; (iv) In the final module we discuss the crisis of medieval civilisation that was brought about by conflicts within the Church, the great struggle between France and England, and the Black Death.
