MC Leadership in Historical Perspective

Uitgebreide vaknaam	Master Class Leadership in Historical Perspective
Leerdoelen	Workshops: This course is organized around two workshops of 4 hours each, on Tuesday evenings. Each workshop comprises two sessions: each session begins with a lecture by a master historian, leading figures in their field of history, followed by a discussion led by students. The master historians will introduce attitudes towards leadership in relation to specific cultural/historical contexts. Using a number of iconic figures and core texts, they will not only give a sketch of the characteristics of leadership, but they will also show why these characteristics were important within the context of the age, and how this may or may not differ from our own perceptions. . The master historians and the topics they will cover include: Modern History: Prof.dr. Hubertus Büschel – Weberian ideals of leadership Medieval History: Prof.dr. Catrien Santing – Frederick II, leader or statesman? Ancient History: Dr. Jan Willem Drijvers – Leadership in imperial Rome Early Modern History: Prof.dr. R. Esser – Queens, regents and consorts in early modern Europe
Omschrijving	Each professor will supply a key text that the students will have read ahead of time. Students will then engage in discussion, with the professor and the group. Each session is organized by a different team of students. What can we learn from history when it comes to leadership? When we study leaders from the past, questions arise that remain crucial in our own time. How important is manliness, or motherliness? How are reputations established and destroyed? How do local leaders operate in global power structures? In this Masterclass we will explore these themes to understand how leadership functioned in different historical contexts, from modern times to antiquity, for men and women, from private life to public life. We will discover the different kinds of leadership that have evolved over the ages, which ones were successful, but also which ones were not. These sessions provide a unique historical laboratorium where theoretical ideas can be tested against historical practices.
