| Unit Description | This unit provides a grounding in the concepts and methodology of local history, and their practice in Australia. Students will analyse several varieties of local history, and consider the strengths and weaknesses of different approaches. They will be introduced to a wide range of primary sources, and asked to reflect on the relationship of local history both to the broader 'history world', and to the social, cultural and political contexts in which it is produced. Assessment will be by assignment work. | ||||||
