HIS 260 - History Workshop: Methods and Practice
Description
Trains students in the methodology and practice of history, in preparation for seminar research and reading and the scholarly practice of history. The two principal objectives of the History Workshop are “historiographical literacy” (a reasonably comprehensive grasp of historical approaches, methodologies, and schools of analysis) and learning the “mechanics of doing history” (how to research and write history, including ethical and practical issues of archival work, library and web use, the mechanics of citation, and more). Classes center on critical analysis of readings, textual interpretation of primary documents, and library activities. Open to all students, but priority is granted to majors and minors. Should be taken during the sophomore or junior year.
