Evans, Rhiannon; Midford, Sarah – Arts and Humanities in Higher Education: An International Journal of Theory, Research and Practice, 2022
We argue that students can understand an historical period by building on the foundations of their existing knowledge. Specifically, popular media can be used to develop students' historical literacies -- that is their ability to engage with past societies vastly different from their own. Our methodology takes inspiration from the ancient Romans'…
