This chapter grounds Anglican historical scholarship in its institutional contexts: the Church of England and the universities. It begins by explaining the idea of the Church of England as a learned church and presenting contemporary testimony for its longevity. It then examines the learned church in its three principal spheres: the parish; the higher clergy (cathedrals, church libraries, bishops); and the universities. In the parish, the clergy combined scholarship with their daily vocation. The higher church appointments were often awarded on the basis of learning. The universities, particularly Oxford, Cambridge, and King’s College, London, were also connected to the learned church—and this connection helps explain the rise of modern history as a university discipline. It concludes by setting the learned church in comparative European context; and by reassessing the idea of the professionalization of history in this period.Less

This chapter describes King's College London's online MA/PGDip in French Language and Culture programme. The programme, launched in October 2009, is believed to be the only truly entirely online postgraduate degree in both French language and content in the UK. It suggests that online and blended programmes benefit institutions by contributing to internationalisation; from a departmental point of view, such programmes extend the range of modes of delivery, expand the range of offerings, and also feed into staff motivation and departmental synergies.Less

This chapter examines the achievements of Great Britain in medieval musicology during the twentieth century. British universities came to musicology very late and it was only in the 1950s that serious university study of musical history began. The earliest British position specifically denoted as ‘in musicology’ was the Readership awarded to Pierluigi Petrobelli at King's College London in 1975. Some of the key British musicologists include Charles Burney, Sir John Hawkins and Francis Galpin.Less

From the outset of his professional life the author set himself the task of learning about the historical and philosophical underpinnings of imprisonment and its use in the hope of gaining some idea about how imprisonment, if it was thought to be necessary in the future, might be better organised. This led him to complete doctoral studies in Edinburgh University and later to establish the International Centre for Prison Studies in King’s College London with the aim of developing a body of knowledge about the principles on which the use of imprisonment should be based and building a resource network to encourage the spread of good practice in prison management worldwide. This is the work which is described in succeeding chapters.Less
