Workshop

At its height in 1922, the British Empire was the largest empire the world had ever seen, covering around a quarter of Earth's land surface and ruling over 458 million people. Over 100 years later, what legacy has British colonisation left across the world?

Come to the University of Warwick to discover the impacts of colonisation on modern society and economy: they run deeper than you might think.

At this workshop, we’ll challenge you to think about colonial history differently. You’ll discover how data – like census records and trade documents – can reveal interesting and often surprising information about the long-term effects of colonisation.

Focusing on the impacts of British colonisation on Africa and India, you’ll find out how to use historical data to test assumptions and theories, how to interpret your findings and how to draw up and present your conclusions.
