About this course

Formerly titled History of Northern Ireland, 1912 to the PresentThis course will explore the Troubles by using a variety of sources to gain a comprehensive understanding of the conflict. We will consider how historians, filmmakers, the broadcast media and creative writers have addressed the Troubles and consider key events that defined a deeply divided society. The course will address how the broadcast media helped undermine the Stormont Government and challenge British policy throughout the conflict. It will address key events including the campaign for civil rights campaign, the role of the Provisional IRA and Loyalist paramilitaries, the peace process which produced the landmark Good Friday Agreement in 1998 and the threat Brexit poses to the stability of Northern Ireland today.
