More about this course
- For centuries, pubs have been the focal point of local communities. But recent years have seen more and more of them closing their doors for good.
- On this three-week course from the University of York, you will explore how pubs have changed over the past 150 years and what contemporary pubs offer communities and individuals.
- Considering social, economic, and design/architectural perspectives, you will examine the history, development, and look to the future of pubs within communities and our heritage culture.
- You will start the course with a brief history of pubs, from the late 19th century to the present day.
- You will be introduced to some of the oldest pubs in the UK, learning how pub styles and architecture have evolved over the years.
- Week 2 of the course will dig deeper into the social and cultural role of the pub. You will investigate the importance of pubs for social sustainability, and discuss their value as a community asset. In particular, you will cover pub consumers, why they visit, and how they use pubs.
- You will also consider pubs from an ethnographic perspective, analysing pub entertainment and drinking behaviour.
- In the final week of the course, you will look at the challenges that pubs have faced and the current challenges of pub management.
- You will learn why so many pubs are closing down, and what is needed to support them.
- By the end of the course, you will be inspired to do your bit to save pubs from extinction.
