- Title
The Worlds of UCL: teaching, learning and institutional histories.
- Authors
Brewis, Georgina; Hannan, Kathryn
- Abstract
This article discusses an undergraduate module which introduces students to the study of the history of education through the lens of our own institutions - UCL (University College London, UK), founded in 1826, and the IOE (Institute of Education, UCL's Faculty of Education and Society), founded in 1902. The module critically examines the close, but often hidden, connections between British education and empire, asking what impact these imperial legacies have today. After outlining the module's origins and relationship with the history of UCL and the IOE, the article sets its creation in the wider context of initiatives that seek to critique and reimagine institutional histories within higher education for a variety of purposes. The article also explores the developing role of the IOE Archives team in teaching, and explores how academics and archivists work together to teach institutional histories, and how this work can prompt change.
