The Future of Learning and Teaching in Social History: The Research Approach and Employability
This paper analyses the key issues that need to be addressed in seeking to enhance the appeal of social history to undergraduates. Consideration is given to content selection; enhancing cognitive skills; learning and teaching approaches; and assessment techniques. Additionally, in relation to each of these matters, the notion of progression is examined, which in this context is concerned with how the study of social history can be made more chall…
Domestic Industry in Britain During the 18th and 19th Centuries: Field Evidence and the Research Agenda
This paper considers how fieldwork evidence can be used to investigate key themes that arise in the historiography of domestic industry, particularly with regard to the insights that can be obtained into the regional nature of Britain's industrialisation. The focus is on articulating and explaining the variations that have been reported in the design characteristics of domestic workshops; on judging the impact that the rise of domestic industry h…
Techniques of Easing Road Gradients during the Industrial Revolution: A Case Study of Textile Lancashire
Analysis of road improvements during the Industrial Revolution period has focused on creating better surfaces, especially by using broken stone techniques, and has had comparatively little to say on easing gradients. Yet it is evident from field and documentary investigation that contemporary road engineers achieved a great deal in terms of easing gradients both by realigning routes and by cutting and embanking. Taking textile Lancashire as a cas…
