Urja’s Posts
Me, circa 2019, getting ready to go ‘outside’, a place unvisited since 2020
Hiya, I’m Urja, a final-year on the History BA programme. You might recognise me from the History Society committee, and see me wearing one of our very stylish new sweatshirts around campus. In my spare time I like to rant about Star Wars, the environment, American politics and Tottenham Hotspur.
I really enjoyed my Making History project in first year. I appreciate that it’s going to be very different for you guys and this probably isn’t how you envisioned your first year at university! It certainly isn’t how I imagined my final year. Regardless, I hope you still enjoy this module; I’d really encourage you to take advantage of just how fun and creative you can be here.
Here are some posts I’ve put together that will hopefully be useful for your work on this module:
