Dr Lucia Akard
Lecturer in Medieval History
History and Economics are fascinating subjects to study side-by-side, and their long relationship has led to the growth of the distinctive discipline of Economic History.
Looking at long-term economic trends and explaining divergences is one aspect of this exciting area, but using economic theory and quantitative methods to examine particular historical issues is another. The compulsory and significant Economics element of this course makes it a real alternative to PPE for students interested in the interaction of the humanities and the social sciences.
Students who study History and Economics may if they choose specialise primarily in either History or Economics, while still preserving the benefits of an integrated approach.
