Identity and Nationhood Summer School 2024

Claims about identity and national belonging have become an increasingly important feature of political debate and dynamics around the world in recent years.
This 3 week summer school, 24 June - 12 July, brings together experts from a range of disciplines and backgrounds to explore the nature and implications of such claims for contemporary politics. Through a combination of taught sessions and field trips, the programme offers an exciting opportunity to discuss these issues from a Welsh, British and international perspective.
The programme is hosted by our Department of International Politics, the first of its kind anywhere in the world.
The programme is credit-bearing. Students will receive credit to transfer to their home institution if they successfully complete the course. The academic component will entail the completion of a 10 UK credit module (3 US credits) including a journal, presentation, and a written assignment. The programme will include trips and excursions as well as time to get to know the seaside town of Aberystwyth, home to the National Library of Wales.
