Global History & Society: From Empires to Modern Nations

This course introduces secondary and sixth-form students to the evolution of global civilizations, with a focus on comparative history, political thought, and social transformation. Drawing on 30+ years of experience teaching History and Liberal Studies in Hong Kong—including at A-Level and university level—I guide students through themes such as colonialism, revolutions, global conflicts, and modern political ideologies.

Each lesson combines primary source analysis, critical discussion, and structured writing skills (essays, arguments, and document-based questions). Ideal for students preparing for GCSE, A-Level, or international entrance exams.

Extra information

Please prepare a notebook for discussion notes and ensure a stable internet connection for live interaction. Materials will be provided.
Students should have access to Zoom/Google Meet, a quiet environment for online learning, and be ready to engage with discussion questions. All class materials will be sent in advance.

The course will delve into the intertwined political, historical, and geopolitical factors that underpin the ongoing hostilities, including Ukraine's pursuit of closer ties with the European Union and NATO, Russia's security concerns and imperial ambitions, and the historical narratives shaping national identities. We will trace the evolution of the conflict from the initial phase in Donbas to the full-scale invasion in 2022, analyzing key events, international responses, and the devastating humanitarian consequences. By the end, participants will gain a clearer understanding of the multifaceted origins and trajectory of the Ukrainian wars.
