1 Introduction to the Lecture List

The list of Lectures and Classes is divided into sections for General Lectures (Section 2), the Preliminary

Examination (Section 3), the Final Honour School (Section 4), and Postgraduate Courses and Seminars

(Section 5).

The sections dedicated to undergraduate courses are divided into sub-sections according to the type of

course to which the lectures relate. Some courses of lectures are entered under more than one section or

sub-section, if they are relevant to more than one course in the Preliminary Examination or the Final Honour

School.

The section dedicated to postgraduate study and research is divided into sub-sections according to type of

seminar/meeting and then by research period.

Undergraduates and graduates are recommended to read through all sections of the list and not to focus

narrowly on those specifically designated for particular paper options. Lectures relevant to History may

also appear on other faculties’ lecture lists, which can be accessed through the University website:

http://www.ox.ac.uk/students/academic/guidance/lectures. Students in Joint Schools are particularly

referred to the lists for their other subject (see 3.2 below), but History undergraduates are also encouraged

to browse them according to their particular interests.

1.1 Version There may be late changes and amendments to this Lecture List. For an up-to-date version, please check

WebLearn (https://weblearn.ox.ac.uk/portal/hierarchy/humdiv/history).

This version was last updated: 9-Jan-19

1.2 Attendance

Many lectures cover courses for which students will be taking tutorials in the same term, but some lecture-

courses will take place in a different term from the tutorials, whether later or earlier. Students are

encouraged to ensure that they have identified lectures relevant to them. This may particularly apply to

lectures for British and European and World History, but also in Trinity Term to a range of other courses.

Students are also encouraged to attend any lectures which catch their interest, for their own sake or to

guide them in future choices of courses or topics, including for their theses.

Non-members of the University may not attend university lectures (unless they are announced as open to

the general public) without payment of a fee, otherwise than by personal invitation of the lecturer

concerned. Persons who are neither reading for a qualification of this University nor otherwise exempt

under special arrangements for certain categories of non-members, and who wish to attend lectures in any

term, should apply to the Fees Clerk, University Offices, Wellington Square, Oxford OX1 2JD, who will

provide information on the fee required. Senior visiting scholars from other universities who wish to attend

http://www.ox.ac.uk/students/academic/guidance/lectures

https://weblearn.ox.ac.uk/portal/hierarchy/humdiv/history



lectures, seminars, or classes should normally approach the lecturer concerned directly, and not the Fees

Clerk.

1.3 Timing of Lectures

Lectures begin on the first possible day after the beginning of Full Term (Sunday, 13 January) and run in

Weeks 1-8 of term unless otherwise stated.

Events shown on this list are generally one hour long unless otherwise stated. Lectures will begin five

minutes after the hour and finish at five minutes before the next hour.

1.4 Key to Symbols O = Open to any university member to attend at any time A = Open to members of the university upon application; admission at the discretion of the convenor X = (normally) restricted to members of the university taking the appropriate paper.

Lectures are listed in the following format:

Lecture Title Lecturer Day and Time Location

Where individual lecture topics and lecturers are listed below the main title of the lecture circus, the

dates of the individual lectures are specified.



2 General Lectures

2.1 Special Lectures Applying various endowments given for the purpose, the University invites distinguished scholars to give

series or individual special lectures, on topics current to their research or of general interest. Historians

from professors to undergraduates attend these lectures, which are also open more widely, and students

are strongly encouraged to take the opportunity to hear what are often the first fruits of new research,

which will later become important articles and books.

5 Postgraduate Courses and Seminars

Research Students in Modern History (particularly Probationer Research Students and candidates for the

M.St. in Historical Research) are reminded that they are required to attend the ‘core’ seminar relevant to

their period or area of study, and that they are encouraged to attend optional subject classes for master’s

programmes in History relevant to their area of research. All participants in such classes will be expected

to prepare themselves for each session in the same way as those who take the class as part of their

registered programme.

Students on taught courses are advised that offerings listed in the ‘research seminars’ section may be

relevant to their course of study, particularly the ‘core’ seminars in the subject area of their intended

course dissertation.

5.1 Research Seminars

These seminars are primarily devoted to the presentation and discussion of research findings. Papers are

usually given by a mixture of external and internal speakers, including graduate students. Research

seminars are divided by period on this lecture list for ease of reference.

5.2.3 Language Opportunities

The History Graduate Office offers some language classes in conjunction with the Language Centre

(http://www.lang.ox.ac.uk/). Usually, new graduates sign up for these before the start of their course, but

current graduates are also welcome to register their interest by contacting the Graduate Office.

Various levels of teaching are offered in this context (organised as demand justifies), from Reading classes

tailored to Historians (mainstream European languages), to standard Language Centre tuition in a wide

range of languages (http://www.lang.ox.ac.uk/courses/lasr_guide.html), plus opportunities for self-study

using the Language Centre's resources and library. History graduates can in some cases also participate in

classes for Oriental and South Asian Languages, organised by the Faculty of Oriental Studies

(http://www.orinst.ox.ac.uk/).
