Richard Marsden

Richard Marsden is a staff tutor and lecturer in history and is currently director of teaching for the School of Arts and Humanities and deputy chair for the A113 Revolutions course. He worked at several traditional universities between 2005 and 2016 but is happy to be at The Open University, as adult learners are definitely his favourite students. As a historian, he looks at the ways in which ideas about the past helped to shape national identities in Britain from the eighteenth century to the present. He is interested in enabling distance-learning students to work together, rather than in isolation, while at the same time giving them greater choice about what and how they study.
