Â鶹ÒùÔº learn about a wide range of historical methodologies and ideas that have shaped – and continue to shape – our field. We will critically engage and analyze the work of prominent (and lesser known) scholars whose writings reflect important historical themes. We will disagree with some, challenge the methodologies, sources, and argumentation of others, and find inspiration in thinking of new ways to further our own research. One of the course’s main focuses is on writing, analysis, and argumentation, all of which are skills that we will continue to hone throughout the semester. We will also spend time learning about professional aspects of the field, from writing book reviews, to submitting articles to journals, to attending national conferences.
