In Practice II: Student Showcase

In Practice II brings together student work from two postgraduate programmes – Global Urbanism MASc and Public History MA. The showcase demonstrates the students' diverse approaches to understanding today's social challenges, related to colonial legacies, urban change and belonging.

Audiences will have the opportunity to engage with creative outputs such as zines, websites, interpretative installations, photography, and moving image. These works reflect the wide range of multidisciplinary knowledge and methodologies fostered within the Public History and Global Urbanism teaching programmes.

Both programmes are located in the UCL East Campus and engage with the context of the area through site-based learning, and collaborations with local organisations and communities.

About Global Urbanism MASc

The Bartlett’s Global Urbanism MASc is the first urban Master’s degree to cut radically across arts, humanities, social sciences and technology studies, giving you the opportunity to specialise in urbanism as a challenge-driven and practice-oriented transdisciplinary field. Drawing from the distinctive breadth of UCL’s urban expertise, the programme equips students with state-of-the-art knowledge of urbanism – a term that embraces the social and cultural life of cities, and the numerous approaches and practices which set out to understand and shape urban futures.

About Public History MA

UCL's Public History MA combines cutting-edge, research-led knowledge of how history is produced and engaged within public contexts, with training in the practices through which public historical understanding is created and communicated. Students benefit from UCL’s rich experience working with national heritage institutions, museums, and media outlets, as well as local communities in London, and from the university’s own role as a public history provider (through its three on-campus museums and special collections). They work with internationally recognised practitioner-researchers in the fields of oral history, documentary film and radio, exhibition curation, digital history, historical dramatisation, and heritage-making.
