Description:

This course is available as a live-streamed course via Zoom only and there is no in-person component.

In the wake of Her Late Majesty’s passing, this course reflects on the female leaders of the monarchy, exploring how their gender impacted their reign and legacy. Focusing on the Tudor period, we journey from the green sleeves of Anne Boleyn to the Catholic tyranny of Mary. This course explores the antithetical female leaders and their role in shaping British History at a time of significant change, the beginning of the birth of modern Europe.

Meet our Instructor

Junior Lecturer Flicky Cunliffe

Flicky Cunliffe is a full-time first-year student at Victoria University of Wellington and will teach her first course for EarthDiverse. She currently studies a triple major in History, Political Science and International Relations and has a vast interest in British and European history, being a Brit herself. She is looking forward to teaching this course not only from the perspective of someone who grew up surrounded by monarchy memorabilia and experiencing them at the helm of her country, but also as someone who is fascinated by women in leadership positions throughout history.  Her passion for the Tudor period of British history combined with the recent passing of Queen Elizabeth II led Flicky to design a course that highlights the royal Tudor women and their impacts on history and on the modern-day.
