Cambridge School of History

The Cambridge School of History is a prominent approach to historiography that emerged in the late 20th century, primarily associated with historians at the University of Cambridge. It emphasizes the importance of social and cultural contexts in understanding historical events, often focusing on how societal structures influence historical narratives. This school encourages examining the motivations, beliefs, and practices of various groups, leading to a more nuanced understanding of the past. Instead of viewing history as a mere series of events, it seeks to explore the complexities and interconnections that shape human experiences over time.
