RADICAL WALKS AROUND DUNDEE

A five-week Lifelong Learning Dundee course by Anthony Cox

Five guided tours in the heart of the modern city, seeking to uncover the remains, and tell the story of, medieval and early modern Dundee.

The class meets and walks begin at the Burns’ statue in Albert Square. 

Tutor : Anthony Cox

Dr Anthony Cox is a freelance lecturer, researcher and tour guide. As a PhD student and History Fellow of Trinity College, at the University of Cambridge, his early research interests lay in modern comparative labour history, which laid the basis for the publication, in 2013, of his 'Empire, Industry and Class: the imperial nexus of jute, 1840-1940'. In more recent years, however, he has widened his teaching and research focus towards investigations of subjects as diverse as the Picts, the early history of Scotland, and the religious roots of local and Scottish radical movements and thinkers.
