PSIR322 HISTORY OF CYPRUS CONFLICT
Course Content
This course introduces students to questions in the history of the Cyprus conflict, representing both a history of the conflict itself and an examination of the role of history in the conflict. The course will require students to examine both primary and secondary materials and to conduct research on contested issues in the island’s recent history, including the role of British colonialism in the conflict, the rise of nationalist mobilization, and the increasing division of society leading to partition. Students will learn what materials are available to research Cyprus’ recent history, and they will also examine the construction of history within the context of conflict.
