Course Description
The course offers you the opportunity to deepen your disciplinary research and writing skills, develop effective grant writing techniques, refine your knowledge of online research data bases, expand your use of digital research, analyze textual and non-textual evidence, consider the value of historical arguments, and review professional ethics. Assignments and meetings are structured to support independent research, to enable comparative explorations, and to provide space for cooperative efforts and assistance.
The central project is a research paper/thesis chapter, in your field, on a history topic of your own choice. Based on primary source research, the paper/chapter will be 25-35 double-spaced pages in length. Your goal is to produce an original analysis of primary source materials, placed in appropriate historical, historiographical and conceptual/theoretical contexts, that will contribute to ongoing historical scholarship.
