Overview
Overview
History is an enquiry into the past, in all its diversity. As historians, we ask difficult questions of our predecessors and their lives. Did England welcome the Reformation? How did enslaved people resist? Did the Mansa of Mali rule like the Oba of Benin?
In answering these questions we make claims about the past that require careful and thoughtful uses of sources of contemporary evidence.
In doing so we develop curious and critical learners. A student who embraces History is a student who is empowered to change the world.
