Masters course renamed as academics worry term suggests ‘nationalist narratives’
The term Anglo-Saxon has been removed from a University’s module titles to tackle “nationalist narratives”.
The University of Nottingham offers leading courses in Anglo-Saxon history and literature and is the only university in the country to offer a Viking Studies course.
But in a move to “decolonise the curriculum”, professors have renamed a masters course in Viking and Anglo-Saxon Studies as Viking and Early Medieval English Studies.
