Last week - seminar M2 1970s

Séminaire M2 1970s

I am sorry that Covid has stopped me from being present for our final seminar. This means I have been unable to join the move and bring my cuddly toy, Alex (see below).

In the last seminar I was going to continue examining the 1970s and what it means to study the social and cultural history of the 1970s in the UK. In the timeline I had got up to 1976. The second half of this video

and the whole of this video

show me going through the last four years of the decade. Each of these videos is half an hour long, and they were produced a couple of years back when Covid was stopping teaching from happening in physical presence.

I also wanted to show you a long extract from this excellent programme, which looks at what it was like being Black in the Uk in the 1970s.

Finally, last year’s group were very interested in this video about a group of feminists, who were not typical (the women’s movement was made up of a large number of different currents or initiatives), but who were influential.

Concerning your homework assignments, someone asked me how they should be structured. Well, you may choose how you do this, but a standard structure might be.

- What my question is and why I think it is important

- What the publication I am working on was, its main characteristics and importance.

- What other people have already said about this specific question

- What  I found in my primary sources

- How what I found compares with what I expected to find.

 

I am not expecting you to have any major problems.
