Podcast Content/Structure
The podcast must include a discussion of different academic interpretations of the topic. Although you may use primary sources when preparing your podcast, it is expected that you will focus mainly on secondary sources in order to contextualise and analyse the contours of the debate. In other words, the historiographical dimension should be at the forefront.
You should consider questions such as:
What are the major historiographical debates on the topic?
Which historians have pushed forward the debate, and how have others responded?
When did this debate emerge, and what does this tell us about changing approaches to the First World War (or shifting currents in historical research more broadly)?
What evidence do historians engaging with this debate use to support their arguments, or to oppose the views of others?
Does the debate have implications for how we understand salient issues in the twenty-first century?
