Description	This module aims to introduce students to a broad range of topics from the later part of the Middle Ages understood as part of global history, with a focus on staff areas of particular expertise in social-economic, religious, cultural history and material culture. Students will examine these topics through lectures and analysis of relevant primary and secondary source material, including material culture, online resources and accessible locations, to gain first-hand experience of some of the issues involved in the scholarly study of this period.
Learning Outcomes	By the end of the module students should be able to: Explain and analyse key events and historical processes relevant to the subject under scrutiny. Explain and analyse reasons for and implications of these events and processes. Analyse in depth particular moments and cases of import. Examine effectively appropriate historical evidence and recognise issues concerned with its interpretation. Work with an appropriate degree of learner independence to explain and analyse the material under scrutiny. Work as an effective team-member of a seminar group engaged in a common area of historical investigation. Communicate explanation and analysis of the subject clearly and effectively, orally and in writing.
