Week 10 is about 'Imperialism'.

There are two types of material in this folder - a video in which Matt Lawson discusses music as a source of evidence for studying imperialism and five photographs from a photograph album of Preston schoolchildren's

Empire Day celebrations in 1909. Please view these materials and then answer the question below in a journal post (the journal link is at the bottom of the page). A member of the course team will respond to your post.

What conclusions can we draw about the impact of Imperialism on British society a hundred years ago from the evidence of cultural artefacts like music and photography?

Also, following your classroom discussion please go to the ideologies discussion board and outline what you think are the key ideas underpinning imperialism and what their impact may have been.
