This course introduces the major analytical approaches and schools of thought that have shaped the historical profession. Readings span a wide range of methods and themes, tracing how historians have conceived of their work and role in society over time.
A special topic seminar: the seminar work varies each time offered. Students primarily work independently on selected projects; however, they work closely with the course instructor. Students will share their research with their colleagues and engage in peer critique throughout the semester.
The seminar paper is the core research experience in the History MA program and in the pre-dissertation phase of the History PhD program. This course is designed to be the first step in the seminar paper process. The focus will be on cultivating the skills and methods necessary to conduct independent historical research, to plan a large research project (the seminar paper), and to launch that project successfully. While the topics discussed collectively in class should be relevant to any piece of historical research, all written work in the course will relate directly to the students’ own nascent seminar paper projects.
This course will offer students the opportunity to do original research in primary sources for the purpose of completing an article-length piece of original scholarship. In addition to working intensively (in conjunction with the instructor) on all stages of their individual seminar paper projects, students will examine the skills and methods necessary to conduct research, discuss matters of common concern in the research and writing processes, share the results of their research with their colleagues, and engage in peer-critique of each other's work. Our group conversations will not only be designed to aid individual students in the production of their seminar papers, but also will continually focus on the historians’ craft, the challenges historians face in carrying out our work, and the methods we deploy to address those challenges.
This is a course designed for PhD students to prepare their comprehensive exams under the supervisor of their primary advisor.
