ENGAGING WITH HISTORY AND HISTORICAL METHODS

Catalog description

Course introduces students to approaches and methods in historical study and research, with an emphasis on substantial historical aspects of the Humanities. Students will develop their understanding of core concepts, approaches, and methods in the field of History through an examination of specific time periods and historical processes, such as World War II, the modern Olympics, protest movements, and/or commodity chains in world trade from 1500 to the present. Students will apply that understanding to guided individual research on a topic selected in conjunction with the instructor.
