Dr Chris Fuller<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Just in time for the start of the school year is our second episode of Southampton History Speaks. In this episode you’ll hear Dr Chris Fuller, Lecturer in Modern History, speak with Rachel Herrmann\u00a0about the September 11th attacks, the War on Terror, the rise of drone technology, and a different sort of history research.<\/p>\n

You’ll hear Rachel speak about how September 11th turned her into a historian, and listen to Chris talk about how teaching terrorism at\u00a0A-level led to his pursuit of a PhD. You’ll learn about how the War on Terror, September 11th, and drones all relate to each other, and you’ll also see how these events are connected to U.S. domestic policy and the rise of the police state. Finally, you’ll gather a sense of how this sort of research is quite different from the research of\u00a0historians interested in earlier eras (spoilers: pyjamas are involved).<\/p>\n
