Overview

The History of the Family (Online) course from University of Limerick brings these approaches together to produce a holistic view of the family and family life in the past that is fully contextualised and academically grounded. Students on this course develop their skills in researching the family and family life — gaining knowledge of archives, sources, approaches and methods, while also extending and deepening their knowledge of the wider circumstances that shaped family life in the past.

Key facts:

This programme is designed to develop research and writing skills in history of the family. In addition to taking subject-specific modules that introduce students to approaches and themes in histories of the family, students will be guided through the processes of essay writing, communicating findings to diverse audiences, and planning a research project.

By the end of the course, successful students will have produced an independent research project that explores an aspect of the history of the family.
