This essay should include any personal and academic information that is relevant to your application; your reasons for applying to this seminar; your interest, both intellectual and personal, in World War I in British history and culture; your qualifications to do the work of this seminar and make a contribution to it; what you hope to accomplish by participation, including any individual research and writing projects; and the relation of the study to your teaching.
