Although widely taught in history departments, the eighteenth century also presents challenges, including new students’ unfamiliarity with the period, the theoretical and interdisciplinary nature of the critical writings, and extensive online source material requiring digital skills for its evaluation.Focusing on pedagogical innovation and current developments in the discipline, this collection of essays reflects on how we teach the history of the long eighteenth century, exploring current subfields such as histories of material culture, the senses, gender, crime and empire. It presents practical case studies showcasing how novel teaching methods can be employed in the classroom that promote active learning and invite students to think critically about the nature of their discipline. Methods covered include decolonising the curriculum, digital history, transferable skills, engaging with objects, working in non-classroom settings and multisensory approaches.Grounded in real academic practice, this is a valuable guide for all history educators, whether specialising in the eighteenth century or beyond. 04 00 <ul> <li>Introduction Ruth Larsen, Alice Marples and Matthew McCormack </li> <li>Part I Digital History</li> <li>1 Letting Students Loose in the Archive: Reflections on Teaching “At the Court of King George: Exploring the Royal Archives” at King’s College London Arthur Burns and Oliver Walton </li> <li>2 Introducing Australian Students to British History and Research Methods Via Digital Sources Simon Burrows and Rebekah Ward </li> <li>Part II History in the Classroom</li> <li>3 Sensational Pedagogy: Teaching the Sensory Eighteenth Century William Tullett </li> <li>4 Let’s Talk About Sex: “BAD” Approaches to Teaching the Histories of Gender and Sexualities Ruth Larsen </li> <li>5 Engaging Students with Political History: Citizenship in the (Very) Long Eighteenth Century Matthew McCormack </li> <li>Part III Material Culture and Museum Collections</li> <li>6 Beyond “Great White Men”: Teaching Histories of Science, Empire and Heritage through Collections Alice Marples </li> <li>7 Teaching Eighteenth-Century Classical Reception through University Museum Collections Lenia Kouneni </li> </ul> University of London Press 01 University of London Press 04 01 20240627 02 WORLD 06 15 9781908590602 06 15 9781908590619 06 15 9781908590633 06 15 9781908590626 WORLD 09 University of London Press 20 01
