History Counts

Part of the ESRC Festival of Social Sciences

Ever wondered how data can shine a light on the past? Data is a very important part of studying history. For example, the UK census has been collected every 10 years since 1801, and reading it can tell us a huge amount about what life was like a hundred years ago. It can tell us how many people lived in different places, what jobs they did, how long they lived for and how cramped their houses were.

Every year QUCEH runs a workshop in the Autumn Semester which aims to introduce A-level history pupils to economics-based approaches to studying history, and show them how quantitative historical data can be used to shine a light on historical debates. 

The workshop is organised by Alan de Bromhead, and delivered by colleagues across QUCEH.
