Sex and the Social Order: Creative Approaches to Teaching the History of Gender and Sexuality in Modern Britain

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: ‘Sex and the Social Order: Gender and Sexuality in Modern Britain’ is a second‐year optional module for history students at the University of the West of England, Bristol (UWE). The module examines histories of gender and sexuality from the mid‐nineteenth century to the present day, providing a wealth of accessible primary material and a diversity of scholarship for students to engage with. This article reflects on the space we have attempted to create within this module for students to engage imaginatively and creatively with history, with a focus on producing original public‐facing research outputs and fostering a community of researchers amongst our students.
