Seminar 4: Activism and Identity

This week's seminar will be group workshops

Answer the following questions

What sort different types of politics do we see in these campaigns?

How does this relate to the work of specific historians?

What is the relationship between form and content, (how what a group wants relates to how they organise to get it)?

How do we evaluate the success of a campaign or movement?
