Natarajan, Radhika
- Abstract
This article discusses the author's experiences teaching British history in the United States and the challenges and opportunities that arise from teaching history in a contemporary context. The author emphasizes the importance of situating Britain within its imperial and global relationships and using postcolonial methodologies to analyze the ways in which imperialism and colonialism have shaped the world. The author also highlights the significance of incorporating diverse perspectives and critical methodologies, such as creative assignments, to engage students and bridge the gap between the classroom and the world. Ultimately, the author aims to provide students with reparatory history that addresses the ongoing issues of colonialism and dispossession in the present day.
