The 1960s was a decade of great change, across society, politics, and culture. Students during this event will explore the different approaches and sources that university-level study of the period involves, as well as considering some of the principle historical debates that have shaped how we think about the decade.
The St Mary’s Schools and Colleges team, in collaboration with academic departments, are delighted to offer a wide range of Masterclass Days to learners considering applying, or have applied, to university.
Sixties Britain Masterclass
The 1960s was a decade of great change in Britain, across society, politics, and culture. Students on this workshop will explore the different approaches and sources that University-level study of the period involves, as well as considering some of the principle historical debates that have shaped how we think about the decade. Through a series of interactive sessions delivered by members of faculty, students will explore the following topics:
- Britain in the 1960s: continuity, change, and historical interpretation
- the making of multi-racial Britain: restrictionism and race relations
- the ‘Swinging Sixties’: popular culture and historical change.
