Blogging and writing for online audiences

Short description:

The world of blogging has never been more accessible, nor more complex - nor more rewarding. This course will help students develop the wide range of skills needed to become sustainable, safe and ethical bloggers. We will analyse the diverse blogging styles out there, discovering what works - and what doesn't. We will also cover things that tie into blogging such as social media, sponsored posts, crowdfunding, SEO and affiliate schemes. Students will develop their own blogging approach and be able to (hopefully!) avoid any potential pitfalls.

What our students say

“Very though-provoking assignments, combined with diverse challenges, kept me on my toes. I was surprised at every turn, but never overwhelmed or anxious. Simply put, it was a perfect combination for me.”

“Daisy is amazing. I learned from her on SO MANY LEVELS! Her suggestions were artfully worded and 100% on the mark. We were all beyond lucky to have her!”

"I learned so much from this course that it was absolutely worth every minute invested. The content was comprehensive. The weekly presentation from Daisy (Louise) helped prepare and expound on topics I’d never considered before. She was relatable, approachable in her teaching style, and thorough in her video instructions. I feel she reflected the high academic standards I hoped to gain through this course. This course both challenged and encouraged me forward."

Local and Regional History

Local Populations

Short description:

Do you wonder who lived in your local community in the past or worshipped in its church? Or how many people lived there in past centuries? If so, this short course on local populations may be just what you are seeking. It will concentrate on three basic administrative units: the manor, the parish and the town. While acknowledging the contributions of landscape and archaeological evidence, this course will concentrate on the numerous written records that all three units generated. Samples from these records will be used to show how information about past communities can be extracted from them and how this information can be used to reconstruct some aspects of inhabitants’ lives.

Course Programme

10:00 Session 1: The local population in the manor

Everyone in medieval England lived in a manor. It was a unit of lordship, based on land, involving legal rights over people within it and it was also a unit of estate administration, which may have lord's residence within it. Some aspects of its administration continued into the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. ‘Domesday Book’, complied in 1086, provides a snap-shot of English manors just before and just after the Norman Conquest. In the centuries after this ‘national’ record was created, many records were generated for individual landlords. This session will consider the characteristics of a manor; various types of documents that it generated; and how these might be used to reconstruct aspects of everyday life.

11:15 Coffee

11:45 Session 2: The local population in the parish

Everyone in medieval England lived in a parish, with the parish church as the focus of religious worship, but the parish was also unit of ecclesiastical administration. After Henry VIII broke with Rome in the 1530s and established a ‘national’ church, the parish also became unit of civil administration. Numerous records generated by local parishes and by the church’s hierarchy survive. This session will consider the characteristics of a parish; the documents that might be available for its study; and how these might be used to reconstruct local parish life in the past.

13:00 Lunch

14:00 Session 3: The local population in the town

This session will firstly consider the definition of a town. Then, using examples from particular towns, it will look at some of the numerous sources that are available for urban history, including archaeological, cartographic and documentary sources. We will consider how these might be used to reconstruct urban life in the past.

15:15 Tea

15:30 Session 4: Counting the local population

It is useful to have an estimate of the number of people in a local community so that we have an idea of scale and change over time. Where suitable records survive, using very basic statistical methods, it is possible to calculate approximate population figures for local communities through time. This session will consider the size of local populations before the national 1801 Census. Sources include ‘Domesday Book’; taxation records, both national and local; parish registers; and religious ‘censuses’.

16:45 Day school ends

Aims:

To introduce students to the basic administrative units in which people lived in the past
To introduce them to the methodology of local history research
To enable them to extract evidence from relevant published sources

Tutor Biography: Dr Heather Falvey

Heather teaches local history at Certificate, Diploma, Advanced Diploma and Masters level at ICE and also at the University of Oxford’s Department of Continuing Education.

Her main historical interests are social unrest and discord in early-modern communities and this is reflected in one of her current research projects, which concerns objections to a disorderly alehouse in Rickmansworth (Herts) in 1588. She is also involved in a number of projects to transcribe and publish editions of historical documents ranging from medieval wills, through eighteenth century recipes, to letters written between members of the family of Humphry Repton, the landscape gardener.

Her course sessions usually comprise a combination of teaching, looking at online resources, and considering samples of documentary evidence from the period. Learning how to analyse such documents gives students an understanding of how historians assemble and interpret evidence and thus helps them to carry out their own historical research.

This course takes place at Madingley Hall, home to the University of Cambridge Institute of Continuing Education.

About Madingley Hall

Madingley Hall itself is an impressive manor house dating back to the mid-16th century. The decoration of the Saloon and the formal Stair Hall was carried out 200 years later, and the whole fabric was renovated with great care around 1900. About four miles from the centre of Cambridge, the Hall stands in several acres of beautifully-maintained gardens and overlooks a landscape which has changed relatively little since it was laid out by Capability Brown. It is just four miles from the centre of Cambridge, and only 60 minutes from London, with excellent links to London airports.

Getting here

We now have a mini-bus service which runs between the Railway Station and Madingly Hall weekday mornings between 06:45 and 09:25 and evenings between 16:45 and 19:25. Please contact the reception desk at ICE for more details.

All my worldly goods: From Brass Pots to Clocks

Short description:

This course will explore the type of material goods commonly consumed from the late medieval period through to the beginning of the nineteenth century, from medieval pewter to looking glasses in the early modern period. Based on the largest database of probate records ever assembled, the course will explore the extent to which ownership of goods was related to time, social hierarchy and geography. For example, possessions of clocks varied widely by social group and geographical location until the second half of the eighteenth century when ownership became widespread.

16:45 Day school ends

Course Aims:

To introduce students to an important aspect of social history which has a strong correlation with local history and which will illuminate their understanding of the domestic lives of people over a period of six hundred years;
To encourage reflection upon the extent to which the standards of living and consumption patterns of English people changed over the period.

This course will explore the type of material goods commonly consumed from the late medieval period through to the beginning of the nineteenth century including pewter, bedding and small items of silver in the late medieval period and clocks, looking-glasses and goods associated with the increased popularity of coffee and tea in the early modern period. As well as household goods, the course will touch on changing clothing fashions and the use of materials such as silks and satins, through to calicoes and fine linens.

Based on the largest database of probate records ever assembled, the course will explore the extent to which ownership of goods was related to time, social hierarchy and geography. For example, possessions of clocks varied widely by social group and geographical location until the second half of the eighteenth century when ownership became widespread.

Consideration will also be given to the various sources that are available to historians exploring the history of consumption.

Tutors biographies

Dr Joanne Sear

Jo lectures in local history for the Institute with a particular emphasis on the late medieval period. She has taught on the 'Introduction to Local History' and 'World of Material Goods' courses for the certificate as well as presenting 'Medieval Towns' at the diploma level and 'Manors' for the MSt in History.

Jo is working on a volume for the Suffolk Records Society on the manorial records of late medieval Newmarket which she is co-authoring with Dr James Davis of Queen's University, Belfast.

She likes to combine a range of approaches and media when presenting and makes particular use of handouts and visual images. She encourages students to ask questions and to debate and always welcomes input and observations. In addition, she is keen to encourage and facilitate students in undertaking their own research and tries hard to identify websites, online tutorials, etc. which can be easily accessed and explored.

Dr Ken Sneath
Ken lectures in seventeenth- and eighteenth-century history and in local history at the Institute. Until his recent retirement, he was also Assistant Director of Studies for Economic History at Peterhouse College, Cambridge. He has supervised on both the History and Economics Tripos and gave the Wolfson Lecture in local history, 'A consumer revolution in Huntingdonshire?' in 2009 (published in The Local Historian, 2011).

He has written four books on the history of Godmanchester. He has also contributed to the forthcoming volume on the Huntingdonshire Hearth Tax scheduled for publication in 2020.

His teaching style might be described as enthusiastic and lavishly illustrated.

Jo and Ken have recently written The Origins of the Consumer Revolution: From Brass Pots to Clocks which is published by Routledge in March 2020:
