Taught: Michaelmas What is the relationship between historical writing and creative writing, fiction and nonfiction and the entire spectrum of writing that that encompasses? What are the limits on creativity created by source materials or gaps in source materials? What are the respective responsibilities of author and reader? This course explores those questions in the liminal space between historical and creative writing. By examining four areas - the individual; space and time; gaps; and textual intervention and negotiation by author and reader - you will be encouraged to think about the nature of writing across disciplines, your own creative voice and choices, and your relationship to your reader. Through fortnightly case studies and one film-showing, you will consider extensive examples of how individual authors have chosen to meet the challenges of their subject matter, and be encouraged to explore the implications of this for your own writing. Preliminary/Core Reading: Laurence Binet, HHhH (2012) John Clive, Not by Fact Alone: Essays on the Writing and Reading of History (1947) Assessment: Writing Portfolio and reflection (5000 words, of which at least 1000W are reflection). HIST491: Outreach, Heritage and Public History Placement 
Convenor: Dr Chris Donaldson and Dr Joanna Taylor Taught: Michaelmas/Lent This module may be taken in place of a taught module, subject to identification of an appropriate ‘client’. A list of current projects is available online, though it is updated regularly and you should check with the convenors. The department has a growing number of heritage partners, including the National Trust, the Duchy of Lancaster, Lakeland Arts, and North Craven Heritage Trust. Placements may also be organised with another public body of the student’s choice, for example, an archive, library or museum. A wide range of possible work can be undertaken as part of this module, from cataloguing objects, assisting in arrangement for exhibitions and undertaking research work on a corpus of visual or textual sources. The project proposal is agreed between the department and the heritage body and the project is carried out under the supervision of the partner organisation. Assessment: 5000W or equivalent. HIST492: Historical Research Project Convenor: Dr Corinna Peniston-Bird (with supervisors) Taught: Michaelmas or Lent terms This module exists to accommodate a student’s particular research project which cannot be accommodated within the dissertation (HIST400) or other taught modules. Only students with a clear idea of a particular research project they wish to employ, and a clear understanding that it cannot be accommodated within the remainder of the postgraduate programme, should consider this option. Please consult the appropriate Director of Graduate Studies if you wish to pursue this option. The form of assessment and supervisor will vary depending on the project, and will be agreed in negotiation between Director of Postgraduate Studies, supervisor and student. However, it will be of equivalent weighting to 5,000 words of text. Assessment: Project, equivalent to 5000 words (100%) HIST495: School Placement Convenor: Dr Chris Donaldson Taught: As appropriate, within term time This module is designed to enhance your employability and will be based on LUVU’s Schools Partnership Scheme, which supports Lancaster Students on 10-week placements in local schools. Individual placements vary, but each placement is likely to involve classroom observation, teacher assistance, the preparation of teaching plans and materials, lesson planning and teaching the class as a whole. You will have the chance to obtain first-hand experiences of young people’s responses to historical texts and problems. You will also have the chance to develop confidence in communicating your subject, as well as an increased awareness of the roles of schools and universities in educational processes. As well as providing you with practical experience, this module is likely to help with career progression, and in particular (though not exclusively) for those interested in pursuing a career in teaching. Opportunities will likely be available in both the primary and secondary school sector. The form of assessment will vary depending on the project, and will be agreed in negotiation between the convenor, the Director of Postgraduate Studies, and you.
