Lecturer Biography (Please Click): Dr Uditi Sen

Suitable for: Year 12 students who are at the point of deciding what course to study at university and where. It is particularly relevant for students who have an interest in History and/or students who have broad interests and might be interested in a more contemporary and interdisciplinary perspective on history.

Preparation/Pre-Reading: No preparation/pre-reading is required for this event. During the session, the students will need access to a pre-printed package of ‘Traces of the Past’, that will be used in class discussions. This will constitute a few printed pages of photographs/scans of different kinds of primary sources, which needs to be distributed immediately before the session starts. This will be provided in advance.

The IT Setup: The setup is similar to Skype, using a pc and webcam, although students take part as a group with the image projected on a whiteboard rather than as individuals in front of lots of pcs. Dedicated videoconferencing equipment is also compatible if available to the school/college. We will work with your IT department to ensure everything is set up and working prior to the event.
