Spring 2026

5 weekly sessions on Thursdays 7.00 pm to 9.00 pm starting 7 May

This brand-new course brings even more history you didn’t learn in school. Each week’s class will be on a different theme, showcasing a broad range of topics from true crime cases in Victorian society to looking at supernatural beliefs in modern British and Irish history. We will also explore some of history’s most disgusting and scandalous occupations and what previous generations loved and loathed to consume. Using real contemporary sources, we will unpick what life was really like - warts and all.

This class will take place on QUB campus
