HI2090 Introductory Methods Workshop
This sophomore seminar for History, HLS, and Middle East Pluralities Majors will introduce students to classic works of history and historical sociology while familiarizing them with varied theoretical approaches to historical research. After surveying early interdisciplinary work by the French Annales school, this course will explore archives and the politics of memory; examine the role of the imagination in shaping experiences of community; investigate historical change wrought by non-elite groups; and introduce students to critical approaches to global history.
