Karl Hack

Professor Karl Hack was born in Singapore, where he also taught from 1995 to 2006. He is an expert on Southeast Asia, insurgency and (most importantly for today's topic) on the British empire and its decolonisation. He is passionate about unveiling the widest possible range of narratives of people and groups in empire, and about helping students to be coteachers and colearners: part of an active learning community. This has reflected in his teaching at the Open University, where he chaired produciton of A326 Empire 1492 to 1975, The Making of Welsh History, and of his topic for today: A328 Empires: Power, Resistance and Legacies.
