Which historical period are you most passionate about?
Prior to beginning my course at the University of Birmingham, I have always been passionate about the study of the past. I’m particularly interested in the study of modern history, and the public communication of history. As a part of my modules, I have had the opportunity to not only focus on modern history and it’s criticisms, but also discovered that bridging the gap between the past and present lies in questioning, and communicating about contemporary affairs. I have also had the opportunity to study the history and usage of drugs and in the modern period, which helped me reformulate my understanding of the relationship between prohibition, law and authority in a modern state.
