- Course Description: Historiography class that introduces students to common methodological and interpretive issues involved in the History discipline. It exposes the agenda and the intellectual assumptions of historians when exploring the past.
- Please briefly explain why it is necessary and/or desirable to add this course: Needed for program/concentration/certificate change
- What is the need or demand for this course? (Indicate if this course is part of a required sequence in the major.) What other programs would this course service? All M.A. as well as Ph.D. students must take this course unless the Ph.D. student completed it as an M.A.
- Has this course been offered as Selected Topics/Experimental Topics course? If yes, how many times? No
- What qualifications for training and/or experience are necessary to teach this course? (List minimum qualifications for the instructor.) Ph.D. in History or related discipline
- Objectives: This course is designed to:
• Introduce students to common methodologies in the writing of history
• Explore the intellectual assumptions that inform how historians interpret history
• Analyze the patterns in historical interpretation and couch these within the historical moment in which they were written
• Develop a fluency with the most important historical trends within the student’s specialty
- Learning Outcomes: After completing this course, students will be able to:
• Identify an historian’s methodologies and the usefulness and limitations of this methodology
• Explain how the historian’s intellectual assumptions and historical moment fit into the larger study of history
• Identify and discuss major methodological and theoretical trends (i.e. historiography) in their own sub discipline of history
- Major Topics: Topic varies according to instructor's specialty
- Textbooks: Because each course will be adapted to the strengths and interests of its instructor, there is not one common textbook assigned for the course. Instead, the instructor will select readings from her own specialty to illustrate methodological and interpretative trends in history.
- Course Readings, Online Resources, and Other Purchases: This will vary by instructor, but usually only 6-8 books are required.
