Abstract
While existing disciplinary histories of political science focus on areas such as the development of research agendas, establishment of chairs and the founding of subject associations, little work has been undertaken on the history of teaching and learning. Based on extensive archival work and use of contemporaneous documents and surveys, it combines data sources, which have not previously been used in writing the history of political science. These are used to construct a history of the taught discipline which traces the development of courses and curricula within UK universities during the 20th century. In doing so, it makes a significant contribution to the history of political science, challenging existing accounts and chronologies of the development of politics in UK universities, through a more comprehensive account of its diverse origins.
