This week on the pocast, Michaela and Alex discuss the role of queens through the Middle Ages - both what they were supposed to do as well as what was expected of them. They draw connections between the Middle Ages and the present to show that, while the relevance of the royals may not be as important to the running of society as it was in the Middle Ages, they still play a very important role.

This week on the podcast, Michaela is joined by Masters students Helen Wyeth, Alexandra Forsyth, and Heidi Chapman to talk about the benefits of learning a language for studying history. They discuss this topic in relation to the History and Classics & Ancient History programs at Auckland University.  Learning a language has many benefits, from teaching you about the worldviews of other cultures and being able to read both primary and secondary sources in their original language.
