The module also covers how primary sources can be used to highlight different types of cultural heritage from the perspective of local history.
Module 3: The global nationalism

Besides political and cultural factors, the role of basic economic and social factors in the context of nation-building and nationalism is treated. The module includes an extensive micro teaching sequence based on a historiographic perspective.
